A triangle has two sides of length 9 and 12.What is the largest possible whole number length for the third side

Geography

Archy [21]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - 20.

Explanation:

According to the triangle inequality theorem states that the largest and smallest value of the third side of the triangle can be found with the other two sides. The lowest value would be more than the difference of the other two sides and the largest value would be less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

In this case, the other two sides are - 9 and 12

suppose the third side is - x

Then according to the triangle inequality theorem, the largest value of x would be:

x< 12+9

x< 21

so the x would be less than the 21 which is - 20.

What is bowens reaction series
lesya692 [45]

<u>Answer: </u>

The ranking of common igneous silicate minerals based on the temperature at which crystallization occurs is called Bowen’s reaction series.

<u> Explanation: </u>

In  Bowen’s reaction series the minerals with high crystallization temperature are present at the top layer. This means these minerals are the first to crystallize from the magma and they are mostly unstable. The Bowen's reaction series is represented in the Y shape. The left branch of this Y has minerals containing iron and magnesium. They are called as Ferromagnesium minerals.

The right branch of the Y contains plagioclase feldspars minerals. Temperature gradually decreases down along the Bowen’s reaction series from 1200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}to 700^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. At certain low temperature, the two branches combine forming minerals similar to felsic rocks such as orthoclase feldspar, quartz and muscovite mica.
