Answer:

  • No

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use triangle inequality theorem, which states</u>

<em>"The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side."</em>

<u>The sum of two sides compared to the remaining side:</u>

  • 7 + 11 = 18 = 18 - not ok
  • 7 + 18 = 25 > 11 - ok
  • 11 + 18 = 29 > 7 - ok

The sum of two sides is equal to the third side. This makes it impossible to make a triangle. Therefore the answer is no.

fred had a tray of brownies for his birthday. he ate 1/6 of the brownies by himself and his family ate 1/3 of the brownies how m
snow_lady [41]

We want to know how many brownmies did Fred and his family eat together.

We will call to the total of the brownies by 1. On this case, after Fred ate 1/3 of the brownies, he will have:

1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3-1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}

This means that he has left 2/3 of the brownies. After his family ate 1/6 of the brownies:

\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{4}{6}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

This means they will have left 1/2 of the tray of brownies, and that they ate half of it.
