<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.

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining points A and B.<br> A(2, - 5); B(4,1)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

(3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the midpoint coordinates (x, y) of points A(2, - 5) and  B(4, 1)

x-coordinate of the midpoint is (2+4)/2 = 6/2= 3

y-coordinate of the midpoint is (-5+1)/2 = -4/2= -2

The mid point coordinates are (3, -2)
