The shorter piece was 2 inches long.Theres your answer
<span>Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem
</span><span>The sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side
</span>
first one: 6, 22 , 10
6 + 22 > 10 : yes
22 + 10 > 6 : yes
6 + 10 > 22 : No because 16 < 22
These 3 lengths could NOT be lengths of sides of a triangle
second one: 8 , 15 , 22
8 + 15 > 22 : yes
15 + 22 > 8 : yes
8 + 22 > 15 : yes
These 3 lengths could be lengths of sides of a triangle
Answer:
Second option
8 cm, 15 cm, 22 cm
y = x + 2
y = -3x
Do y = -3x in y = x + 2
y = x + 2
-3x = x + 2
-3x - x = 2
-4x = 2
x = -2/4
x = -1/2
Now put x = -1/2 in y = -3x
y = -3x
y = -3.(-1/2)
y = 3/2
There's more ways than one to solve this, just as there's more ways than one to skin a cat.
Two paralle lines have the same slope, so the desired new line looks exactly like the given line 3x + 5y = 6, except that the constant, 6, is replaced by another value.
Write out 3x + 5y = c
Replace x with 0 and y with 3. Then 3(0) + 5(3) = c, and c = 15.
Thus, the equation of the new, parallel, line is 3x + 5y = 15.
