Can a triangle have the following side lengths? Explain. 5 feet, 2 feet, 10 feet

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

No, this can not be a triangle because if you use the Pythagorean theorem 5 squared plus 2 squared doesn't equal 10 squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 5 squared and 2 squared and add them, you then find the square root and that should equal 10, if not its not a triangle.

Help? Because my teacher doesn't want too

M<ABC = m<EBD = 36 (vertical angles)

78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180 (straight angle)

Now solve for x

78 - x + 36 + 3x - 10 = 180
2x + 68 = 180
- 68 -68 (subtract 68 on both sides)
2x = 58
x = 29

a movie theater has 24 screens. the ratio of action films to other films is 1:2 in the summer. how many action films are shown?

stiv31 [10]

12 action films are shown.
This is because if the ratio is 1:2, that means that exactly half of the total amount of movies are action. Thus, to evaluate this problem, you would find half of 24.
$24 \div 2 = 12$

At a fast food restaurant, 10 cheeseburgers w/onion and 5 orders of french fries contain 6900 calories. 5 cheeseburgers w/oni

Leona [35]

Write the equations,

10 c + 5 f = 6900

5c + 3f = 3660

Double,

10c + 6f = 7320

Subtract,

f = 7320 - 6900 = 420

10 c = 6900 - 5f = 6900 - 2100 = 4800

c = 480

Answer: Cheeseburger 480 calories, fries 420 calories

Check:

10 (480) + 5 (420) = 4800 + 2100 = 6900 good

5(480) + 3(420) = 2400 + 1260 = 3660 good
