Answer:

  a) no

  b) yes

  c) maybe (no)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two versions of the triangle inequality. One requires ...

  a + b > c

for any triple of side measures a, b, c.

The other allows ...

  a + b ≥ c

which admits "triangles" that have zero height and look like line segments.

Most questions asking "do these lengths form a triangle" are concerned with the "greater than" case, and disallow the "or equal to" case.

__

a)

  16+21=37\ngtr39\qquad\text{not a triangle}

b)

  27+34=61>58\qquad\text{could be a triangle}

c)

  9+29=38\ge38\qquad\text{could be a triangle if "equal to" is allowed}

How can you know if this equation is true?
faltersainse [42]
Notice how 1/2 and 3/8 are positive numbers. We add two positive numbers meaning that the result should be larger. However 2/5 = 0.4 is not larger than 1/2 = 0.5

So something went wrong with the adding. It turns out that the error is when the person added the numbers in the denominators (2 and 8 to get 10). This is not allowed. The denominators must be the same and stay the same in order for the fractions to be added.

For example: 1/7 + 2/7 = (1+2)/7 = 3/7
The 7s in the denominator do not change

Therefore the answer is choice B) Not true because 2/5 < 1/2

Keisha is reading a 350 page book at a rate of 27 pages per day. Use a point-slope equation to determine how many pages she will
Scrat [10]

Answer:

She will still have 80 pages left to read after 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keisha is reading the book at  a rate of 27 pages per day. The book has 350 pages. So , after x days , the no. of pages remaining to read is,

y = 350 - 27 \times x ---------------(1)

Here, the given value of x is 10. So, putting x = 10 in (1) we get,

y = 350 - 27 \times 10

        = 80
