18 cm is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.
It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.
Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,
<em>Third side < 8 + 15</em>
<em>Third side < 23</em>
<em>It means 3rd side must be less than 23</em>
<em>Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.</em>
<em>15 < Third side + 8</em>
15 - 8 < Third side
7 < Third side
It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.
Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.
100% 9/12 the answer is 25% which leaves you with 75%

Step-by-step explanation: Calculator
Answer:
1) 36
2) My mom was trying to quiz me and she told me to pick a fraction and a number. I picked 1/12 and 3, she then told me to figure out how many 12ths there are in 3 which I found was 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 * 12 = 36
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:
<em>After the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere from a nuclear power plant, the hay was contaminated by iodine 131 ( half-life, 8 days). If it is all right to feed the hay to cows when 10% of the iodine 131 remains, how long did the farmers need to wait to use this hay? </em>
iodine's half life (we are given x, we need to find b):
0.5A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
x = 8 days
we eliminate A₀ from both sides
0.5 = eᵇ⁸
ln 0.5 = ln eᵇ⁸
-0.69315 = b8
b = -0.69315 / 8 = -0.08664
since the farmers need to wait until only 10% of the iodine remains (we already calculated b, now we need to find x):
0.1A₀ = A₀eᵇˣ
0.1 = eᵇˣ
ln 0.1 = bx
where b = -0.08664
x = ln 0.1 / -0.08664 = -2.302585 / -0.08664 = 26.58 days
