The length of 2 sides of a triangle are 12 inches and 4 inches. Which is the third side?

Mathematics

Westkost [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Let x = the third side

 

In a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.

I believe this is called the triangle inequality theorem.

 

We can construct 3 inequalities to obtain the range of values for the third side.

 

  (Inequality #1)   12 + 4 > x

                                  16 > x

 

  (Inequality#2)    12 + x > 4

                                    x > -8   (we can discard this ... we know all sides will be positive)

 

  (Inequality #3)   4 + x > 12

                                   x > 8

 

So when we combine these together,  

 

   8 < x < 16

 

X (the third side) must be a number between 8 and 16. but not including 8 and 16

Seth traveled 1mi/57.1s

you need to convert mi/s to mi/h

we need to found how many seconds are in an hour (3,600)

so 3,600/57.1=63.047

63.047mi/h

63mi/h (rounding)

You need to multiply another number each time.
For Example:
3x2=6
6x3=18
18x4=72
72x5=360
360x6= 2,160

It's a pattern
