Answer:

The smallest whole number length is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of any two sides of any triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

In this case, the two smallest sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side to satisfy the statement above.

Let "x" = the length of the third side.

Our two smaller sides are "x" and "4", and their sum must be greater than 15.

x + 4 > 15

x > 15 - 4

x > 11

Directions: Match the product and quotients estimates below with the correct expression on the left

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Answer is in attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expressions, for which we have to find the estimates as per the expressions on the left.

The given expressions are:

1) 35 $\times$ 23

2) 132 $\div$ 168

3) 17.3 $\times$ 18.4

4) 999 $\div$ 208

5) 998 $\times$ 211

Here, we need to find the rounded off numbers.

35 can be rounded to 40 and 23 to 20.

Therefore, equivalent to 35 $\times$ 23 is 40 $\times$ 20

132 can be rounded to 130 and 168 to 170.

Therefore, equivalent to 132 $\div$ 168 is 130 $\div$ 170.

17.3 can be rounded to 17.0 and 18.4 to 18.0.

Therefore, equivalent to 17.3 $\times$ 18.4 is 17.0 $\times$ 18.0.

999 can be rounded to 1000 and 208 to 210.

Therefore, equivalent to 999 $\div$ 208 is 1000 $\div$ 210.

998 can be rounded to 1000 and 211 to 210.

Therefore, equivalent to 998 $\times$ 211 is 1000 $\times$ 210.

The solution can be found in the attached image as well.
