Since I can't post pictures in this answer, I will just tell you how to get the answer. For this question, you need to consider, how many centimeters go into 2 meters? Well, since 1 meter equals one hundred centimeters, 2 meters would equal 200 centimeters. And since we need to know how many 10 centimeter long sections there would be, then you need to divide 200 by 10. 200 divided by ten equals 20. So the answer would be 20 sections. The plumber is able to cut 20 sections. I hope that helped!
The slope of XY is the same as the slope of AB because XY is parallel to AB. Parallel lines have the same slope.
The answer is x= -5 ...explained... -2x + 5 -35x= 190...-37x +5 = 190 ... now subtract 190-5 = 185... divide 185 by - 37 and get -5
Answer: A) 0 triangles
============================================================
Explanation:
Adding up the two smaller sides gets us 9.6+11.6 = 21.2, but this result is not larger than the third side of 21.2
For a triangle to be possible, we need to be able to add any two sides and have the sum be larger than the third remaining side. This is the triangle inequality theorem.
I recommend you cutting out slips of paper with these side lengths and trying it out yourself. You'll find that a triangle cannot be formed. The 9.6 cm and the 11.6 cm sides will combine to form a straight line that is 21.2 cm, but a triangle won't form.
As another example of a triangle that can't be formed is a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm. The 3 and 5 cm sides add to 3+5 = 8 cm, but this does not exceed the third side. The best we can do is form a straight line but that's not a triangle.
In short, zero triangles can be formed with the given side lengths of 9.6 cm, 11.6 cm, and 21.2 cm
