Could you build a triangle from each of the 3 lengths?

1 answer:

7 0

To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)

7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.

Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.

A circular pizza is being made that will fit in a box that is 14 inches by 16 inches. A 2-inch border is needed between the edge

aliina [53]

Now, as the pizza is circular, so it does not matter about the box shape. If the box shape increases or decreases, the pizza shape is the same.

Now, we have been asked about the largest pizza radii that can fit in the box, so we will consider the shortest value of the box.

The width is given as 14 inches. There is a 2 inch border around the pizza. So, the width is 14-4 = 10 inches. (Now assume this as the diameter of pizza)

And the radius is = $\frac{10}{2}=5$ inches.
