Answer:
B. 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because of the triangle inequality theorem which states "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side." So, since 5+9 is 14 it has to be less than 14. Also, because 5+2 is 7 and that is not greater than 9 it has to be 5 inches.
Complete question :
At Alan's auto shop, it takes him 9 minutes to do an oil change and 12 minutes to do a tire change. Let x be the number of oil changes he does. Let y be the number of tire changes he does. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing how many oil changes and tire changes Alan can do in less than an hour ( minutes).
Answer:
9x + 12y < 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Time taken for oil change = 9 minutes
Time taken for tire change = 12 minutes
x = number of oil changes ; y = number of tire changes
Total hours = 1 hour = 60 minutes
Number of oil and Tyre changes possible in less than an hour
(Number of oil changes * time taken) + (number of tire changes * time taken) less than 60 minutes
9x + 12y < 120
It will cast an 11.25 foot shadow.
Yes good job you are correct
