Answer:
Let x = the third side
In a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.
I believe this is called the triangle inequality theorem.
We can construct 3 inequalities to obtain the range of values for the third side.
(Inequality #1) 12 + 4 > x
16 > x
(Inequality#2) 12 + x > 4
x > -8 (we can discard this ... we know all sides will be positive)
(Inequality #3) 4 + x > 12
x > 8
So when we combine these together,
8 < x < 16
X (the third side) must be a number between 8 and 16. but not including 8 and 16
Answer:
r = 3072. A 4 is multiplied times each term to arrive at the next term. OR ... divide a2 by a1 to find the common ratio of 3072. :)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply $3 by 4 to get $12 spent on cookies. Then, you multiply $12 by 2 to know that the pies cost $24. You then divide the $24 by 3 to get $6 per pie. Meaning, each pie had cost $6. You add the $12 and $24 together to get $36. Finally, you subtract $36 from $40 to know that she only has $4 left.
The answer to this problem would be -22
One laptop would be 900$, 3600$/4 laptops.
