Expanding the left side gives
which gives two solutions,
and
. But if
, then
, but this number isn't real, so
is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if
, you get
, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
18 cm is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two smaller sides is greater that the largest side.
It is given that the two sides of a triangle measure 8 cm and 15 cm.
Case 1: Let 8 cm and 15 cm. are smaller side. So,
<em>Third side < 8 + 15</em>
<em>Third side < 23</em>
<em>It means 3rd side must be less than 23</em>
<em>Case 2: Let 15 cm is the largest side.</em>
<em>15 < Third side + 8</em>
15 - 8 < Third side
7 < Third side
It means 3rd side must be greater than 7.
Since only 18 is less than 23 and greater than 7, therefore the possible length of third sides is 18 cm and option 2 is correct.
Answer:
Option B. Standard error of predicted amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
A standard error predicted amount will work best in this scenario. The data, when extracted from the standard mean, provides the most accurate presentation of the statistical data on question. By using the standard error, the variation from the central point can be determined.
