<h3>Answer:  C) 42 inches</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say we have a triangle with sides x,y,z

Also, let's further say we know that x = 19 and y = 28 (from AB and BC respectively).

The third missing side z can't be nailed down to a single number, but we can establish a possible range. That range is

y-x < z < y+x

28-19 < z < 28+19

9 < z < 47

So any number between 9 and 47, excluding both endpoints, will work as a possible side length for the third missing side.

Something like 7 inches is too small, so we rule out choice B. Choice D is ruled out since 49 inches is too big. Same goes for choice A also.

The only thing left is choice C. The 42 is between 9 and 47

In other words, 9 < 42 < 47 is true.

So that's why the third missing side could be 42 inches.

Side note: I'm using a modification of the triangle inequality theorem.

Answer:

4n -13

Step-by-step explanation:

notice that the difference between the adjacent terms is 4.

nth term is given by:

nth term = first term + (n-1) × difference -n is any number

= -9 + (n-1) × 4

= -9 + 4n -4

= 4n -13
