Answer:

Let's set up an equation with x as the number of times 5 and 4 are being multiplied (remember that 5:4 is a ratio, we don't know how many dogs and cats there are, just that the ratio of dogs to cats is 5:4):

5x+4x=153

9x=153

x=17

4x=4⋅17=68

There are 85 dogs (5⋅17) and 68 cats (85:68=5:4)

Why is it not possible to form a right triangle with the lengths 2, 4, and 7? *
puteri [66]

Answer:

No. The sum of 2 and 4 is less than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first, to create a triangle, the sum of two smallest sides have to be greater than the longest side, which is 2+4 = 6, and 6 is smaller than 7.

So, no, 2, 4, and 7 cannot create a triangle, to be exact a right triangle.

Hope this helps!!
