Answer:

C 24

D 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the choices offered:

5 and 7 will not form a triangle* with any of the other lengths

7 and 12 will not form a triangle with any of the other (longer) lengths

7 and 24 will form a triangle with the other possibilities, 25 and 29. (needs further consideration)

7 and 25 will not form a right triangle with 29, because a right triangle cannot have 3 odd-length sides.

<em>Further consideration</em>

7^2 +24^2 = 49 +576 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . checking Pythagorean theorem

The side measures 7, 24, 25 will form a right triangle.

_____

* A triangle can be formed from three segments only if the sum of the shortest two exceeds the length of the longest one.

leonid [27]

Answer:

The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 96 feet with an initial speed of 16 feet per second.

The standard equation of parabolic projectile.

$h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+h_0$

where,

$v_0=16\ ft/s$

$h_0=96\ ft$

$h(t)=-16t^2+16t+96$

So, we get the parabolic equation of path.

The maximum value at vertex.

$t=-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

$t=-\dfrac{16}{-32}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Maximum at t=0.5

$h(0.5)=-16(0.5)^2+16(0.5)+96$

$h(0.5)=100$

Hence, The maximum height of the particle is 100 ft
