Answer:
Your answer is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying 9 and 1 1/2. Then add 7 1/2. Now divide by 1 3/4
Alright, lets get started.
Lets check each possible answer one by one.
We will start from option B.
BC is from small triangle and its corresponding side is DF, so its ratio will be
not
as given in option. Hence option B is incorrect.
For option C,
Angle a° and angle f° are not similar angles, if they were similar, then only their ratio will be 1 otherwise not 1. Hence option C is incorrect.
For option D,
Angle c° and angle f° are similar angles so, their ratio will be
. Hence option D is incorrect.
Now option A,
ED and AB are corresponding sides. ED is from bigger triangle and AB is from smaller triangle. Their ratio will be
. Hence option A is correct answer.
Hope it will help :)
Answer:
B. {16, 19, 20}
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>triangle inequality</em> requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...
a + b > c
b + c > a
c + a > b
The net result of those requirements are ...
- the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
- the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides
__
If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...
A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle
B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle
C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle
D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle
The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.
The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")
