Answer: Choice B

12.5 < x < 18.9

================================================

Explanation:

We have a triangle with these side lengths:

  • a = 10
  • b = 16
  • c = x = unknown

Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need b^2 < a^2+c^2 to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.

So,

b^2 < a^2 + c^2\\\\c^2 > b^2 - a^2\\\\c > \sqrt{b^2-a^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{16^2-10^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{156}\\\\x > 12.4899959967968 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x > 12.5

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.

Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

c^2 < a^2 + b^2\\\\c < \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{10^2 + 16^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{356}\\\\x < 18.8679622641132 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x < 18.9\\\\

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9

This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9

Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9

Answer choice <br> D) A worker with 15 years of service gets 5 weeks of vacation and each year.
otez555 [7]

Answer: it seems to be D, but the equation makes practically no sense!

The value of the factor changes for the different amounts of service years and vacation weeks.

Step-by-step explanation: The equation means that the employee is trying to figure out the value of the "v-factor" for how vacation time is earned.

If you substitute the number of service years into the left side of the "formula" and vacation weeks on the right side, then solve for "v", v(15)=5 you get v= 1/3 or 0.33

If you substitute other numbers, like v(2)=2, so v= 1 then v(30) = 8, v = 4/15 or 0.2667. You see the factor's value decreases. The company is much more generous to to employees with one or two years of service than with the older ones.
