Answer:
(a) 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two short sides exceed the long side.
__
a) 3 ft + 4 ft = 7 ft > 5 ft . . . . . triangle is possible
b) 4 yd + 1 2/3 yd = 5 2/3 yd < 10 yd . . . . not a possible triangle
c) 3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft < 7 ft . . . . not a possible triangle
d) 4 in + 4 in = 8 in . . . . not a possible triangle (not greater than 8 in)
__
The first set of side lengths can form a triangle: 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft.

Answer:the number of kids that used the public pool that day is 122
the number of adults that used the public pool that day is 92
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of kids that used the public pool that day.
Let y represent the number of adults that used the public pool that day.
214 people used a public swimming pool. This means that
x + y = 214
1.50 for kids and $2.25 for adults. The receipt totaled to $390. This means that
1.5x + 2.25y = 390 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 214 - y into equation 1, it becomes
1.5x
1.5(214 - y) + 2.25y = 390
321 - 1.5y + 2.25y = 390
- 1.5y + 2.25y = 390 - 321
0.75y = 69
y = 69/0.75 = 92
Substituting y = 92 into x = 214 - y, it becomes
x = 214 - 92 = 122
