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.

Division of two quantities is expressed as the ____ of those two quantities.

andreev551 [17]

Division of two quantities is expressed as the quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers. One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is by employing the long division method where the quotient value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.
