Answer:
<span>B. 3 ft, 5 ft and 7 ft
</span>
Explanation:
In any triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater that the third one.

Therefore, to know if the given sides represent a triangle or not, all what we will do is add the two short sides and compare the result to the largest one.
We would have 3 options:
sum of short sides > longest side ......> It is a triangle
sum of short sides < longest side ......> It is not a triangle
sum of short sides = longest sides ....> It is not a triangle

Now, for the given:
1- Option A:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is equal to the longest side
This option is incorrect

2- Option B:
sum of short sides = 3 + 5 = 8 ft which is greater than the longest side
This option is correct

3- Option C:
sum of short sides = 3 + 6 = 9 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

4- Option D:
sum of short sides = 3 + 9 = 12 ft which is less than the longest side
This option is incorrect

Based on the above, the only correct option is B.

Hope this helps :)

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

5mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat in still water is s.

Distance proportional to speed

90/10 = (s+ 4)/(s - 4)

=> 9s - 36 = s + 4

=> 8s = 40

=> s= 5 mph

Find the factors of 9q²-45pq+8q-40p
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

(x−5y)(9x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2−45yx+8x−40y

Do the grouping 9x^2−45yx+8x−40y=(9x^2−45yx)+(8x−40y), and factor out 9x in the first and 8 in the second group.

9x(x−5y)+8(x−5y)

Factor out common term x−5y by using distributive property.

(x−5y)(9x+8)

How do I find the answer?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
First simplify the number part, 14/2 = 7/1
then the x part, \frac{x}{x^ \frac{3}{4} } = x^ \frac{1}{4} &#10;
y doesn't need to be simplified
then simplify the z part, z^-6 = z^6

put it all together...
7x^ \frac{1}{4}y^ \frac{1}{3} z^6
