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.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: In the $2009-10$ school year in country A, there were $92,000$ foreign students from country B. This number is $23\%$ more than the number of students from country C.

TO FIND: How many foreign students were from country C.

SOLUTION:

Total foreign students from country B $=92000$

let the foreign students from country C be $x$

As the students from country B is $23\%$ more than the country C

Students from country B

$92000=\frac{123}{100}x$

$x=\frac{9200000}{123}$

$x\approx74796$

Hence the number of students from country C are $74796$

Phantasy [73]

Answer: 296

Step-by-step explanation:

Unique addresses (population size) = 1,346

Sample size = 50

Number of children - - - - - - - No of household

0 - - - - 5

1 - - - - 11

2 - - - -13

3 - - - - 10

4 - - - - 9

5 - - - - 2

Number of households with more than 3 children :

That is, households with 4 and 5 children

Total = 9 + 2 = 11 households

Therefore, proportion of households with more than 3 children :

(11 / sample size) × population size

(11 /50) × 1346 = 296.12

Approximately 296 households
