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 :)

Reference angle for -19pi/6? 
kow [346]
\bf \cfrac{19}{6}\implies 3+\cfrac{1}{6}&#10;\\ \quad \\\\&#10;\cfrac{-19\pi }{6}\implies -\left(3\pi +\cfrac{1\pi }{6}  \right)\impliedby clockwise&#10;\\ \quad \\\\&#10;or\implies -\left(2\pi +\pi +\cfrac{\pi }{6}  \right)

go that much "clockwise", you'll end up at the 2nd quadrant,
the reference angle, is its reflective angle on the 1st quadrant

Answer:

The length of one side of the square is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of any given shape is all of the sides added together. So, the perimeter of the triangle is 5x + 4x + 3x. Added together, 12x.

The perimeter of the square is (x + 2)*4. Distributed, it's 4x + 8. Since we know they're equal, set it up like this:

12x = 4x + 8

You then find that x = 1. Plug that into one side of the square, x + 2, to get 3.
