Which of the following could NOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
1 answer:
Given:
Sides of triangles in the options.
To find:
Which could NOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
Solution:
Condition for triangle:
Sum of two smaller sides of a triangle must be greater than the longest side.
In option A,
Sides 5 in, 5 in, 5 in are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
In option B,
Sides 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
In option C,
Sides 3 in, 4 in, 5 in are the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
In option D,
Since, the sum of two smaller sides is less than the longest side, therefore the sides 8 ft, 15 ft, 5 ft are not the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

That is not correct. I will help you. Begin by subtracting the 9x from both sides, like this: 9x - 9x + 2y = 6 - 9x. That simplifies to 2y = -9x + 6. Now divide both sides by 2 to get y all alone, like this: 
. That reduces down to 
. That is slope-intercept form. y = mx + b.
