No, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. ( ex; 3,4,8. 3+4=7 ( the two side lengths) and the third side length is 8, which is a bigger number than 7, which means it’s not possible because the third side length is a larger number than the two side lengths. Hope that helped you :)

Answer:

The measure of angle x is $26.1\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we know that

The tangent of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side angle x to the adjacent side angle x

$tan(x)=\frac{26}{53}$

$x=arctan(\frac{26}{53})=26.1\°$

Evaluate 5a+3b and (5+a)(3+b) for a=2 and b=4. How is the order of the steps different for the two expressions?

Lynna [10]

5a+3b
5(2)+3(4)
10+12
22

(5+a)(3+b)
(5+2)(3+4)
(7)(7)
49

The order of the steps differ for the two expressions because for the first expression, you multiply 5a and 3b first. Then, you add them together. However, for the second expression, you add what's inside the parenthesis first then multiply them. So, the order of the steps is the opposite of the other expression.
