Answer:

B. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the triangle inequality theorem which states "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side." So, since 5+9 is 14 it has to be less than 14. Also, because 5+2 is 7 and that is not greater than 9 it has to be 5 inches.

Veronica tells another classmate that ΔHAT is congruent to ΔPAM because of the AAA Theorem. Is Veronica correct in what she tell
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: Veronica is not correct

Explanation:

The AAA theorem, aka the AA theorem, only applies to similar triangles. We cannot use it to prove two triangles are congruent or not. We would need to know info about at least one pair of sides. So based on this diagram, we don't have enough information to know if triangle HAT is congruent to triangle PAM or not.

A similar example to this is to consider two equilateral triangles. Let's call them triangle A and triangle B. If equilateral triangle A has side lengths of 2, and has side lengths of 10, we can see that the triangles are not congruent. However, the triangles are similar because the corresponding angles equal one another. One triangle is a scaled copy of the other. This example is a counterexample as to why the AAA theorem is not a valid congruence theorem.

One case of books weighs 35 pounds. One case of magazines weighs 23 pounds.A book store wants to ship 72 cases of books and 94 c
RSB [31]
Shipment = 72 cases of books + 94 cases of magazines
1 case of books = 35 pounds
1 case of magazines = 23 pounds

Shipment = 72 × 35 + 94 × 23 pounds

72 × 35 = 2520
94 × 23 = 2162

Shipment = 2520 + 2162 pounds

Shipment = 4682 pounds

The angle θ lies in Quadrant II. sinθ=3/4 What is cosθ ?
Elden [556K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:

[email protected] = - sqrt(7)/ 4    

which is choice B

Discussion:

This problem can be solved by drawing triangles and looking at ratios of sides or by using the trig identity:

([email protected])^2 + (sin2)^2 = 1

If [email protected] = 3/4 , the

([email protected])^2 + (3/4)^2 = 1 =>              (subtract (3/4)^2 from both sides)

([email protected])^2 = 1 - (3/4)^2  = 1 - 9/16   = 7/16

So...... taking the square root of both sides gives

[email protected] =  +\- sqrt(7)/ sqrt(16) = +\- sqrt(7)/4

But is [email protected] positive or negative?  We are told that @ is in the second quadrant and cos(@) is negative in this quadrant, so our answer must be negative

[email protected] = - sqrt(7)/ 4    

which is choice B


Thank you,

Mr. B

svp [43]
Simple...

y=x^{2} -9

y= x^{2} -9

It's quite easy to see x^{2} = x^{2}

Thus, any value of x makes the equation true.

Thus, your answer.
