Answer:

7in, 7in, and 15 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Triangle Inequality Theorem that states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side, we can find what set of lengths cannot form a triangle.

The only set that does not follow the theorem is the set with lengths 7in, 7in, and 15in. It does not follow the theorem because...

7 + 7 < 15 (which should not be true based on the theorem)

1. Emily filled an empty horse trough with water. The water level, in centimeters, is proportional to time elapsed, in minut

castortr0y [4]

(a) The rate that the point 8,28 represents is 3.5 cm/s since 28/8 = 3.5
(b) The unit rate is 3.5 cm/s since the rate is constant.
(c) The two points lie on the same line and that both points results to a rate of 3.5 cm/s.<span />

6x + 2y = 12 solve for y

RUDIKE [14]

Subtract 6x from both sides to get:

2y=-6x+12

Then divide both sides by 2 to get:

y=-3x+6
