Start by adding together the shortest two sides, 7 and 8.7 inches. Result: 15.7 inches. Because this sum is greater than the longest side, 15.4 inches, it's possible to construct a triangle, whose largest angle will be close to 180 degrees.
The polynomial with those roots would be:
<span>y = (x + √5)(x - √5)(x - 3) </span>
<span>▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ multiply this out to get </span>
<span>y = (x² - 5)(x - 3) </span>
<span>y = x³ - 3x² - 5x +15</span>
Belle got it wrong when she added the 9 because it was already positive, meaning she would’ve subtracted it.
