What is the range of possible sizes for side x

Mathematics

Xelga [282]3 years ago

Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle (by the triangular inequality theorem), we know that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

When we have a triangle and we know two sides, let's define the measures of these sides as S1 and S2.   (such that S2 > S1)

By the first property, we will have that S1 + S2 > S3

Where S3 is the third side, the one that we do not know.

But there is also a lower restriction, given by:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

This is because we also must have:

S1 + S3 > S2

and

S2 + S3 > S1

We can rewrite both of these to get:

S2 - S1 < S3

S1 - S2 < S3

Because S2 > S1, the first inequality is more restrictive, so we need to use that one.

Then we get the inequality:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

Ok, in this case, the shorter side is 8.0 then:

S1 = 8.0

And the longer side is 8.5, then:

S2 = 8.5

And the third side is x, S3 = x

Replacing those in our inequality, we get:

8.5 - 8.0 < x < 8.5 + 8.0

0.5 < x < 16.5

This is the range of possible sizes for side x.

Solve the system of equations two ways: 3x+y=5 and x-2y=4 A) using substitution B) using elimination
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
A. solve for 1 variable
let's solve for x in 2nd equation
add 2y to both sides
x=2y+4
sub 2y+4 for x in other equation
3(2y+4)+y=5
6y+12+y=5
7y+12=5
minu12 both sides
7y=-7
divide 7
y=-1
sub back
x=2y+4
x=2(-1)+4
x=-2+4
x=2
(2,-1)


B. eliminate
eliminate y's
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first

6x+2y=10
<u>x-2y=4 +</u>
7x+0y=14

7x=14
divide by 7
x=2
sub back
x-2y=4
2-2y=4
minus 2
-2y=2
divide -2
y=-1
(2,-1)



(2,-1) is answer

,,,,,,,,,hi help pls
aliya0001 [1]
Answer: slope is 0
to find the slope , you have to subtract y-es and divide them by x-es.(delta y/ delta x)
so,
(-6,-2) (-7,-2)
slope: -2-(-2)/-7-(-6)
slope:0/ -1
slope: 0
which looks on the graph like this:
