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 :)

Triangle XYZ has vertices at X(–2, –1), Y(–3, –6), and Z(–7, –5). If triangle XYZ is rotated 90° clockwise, what will be the coo
Delvig [45]

Answer:1. Is right 3 down 5, because to get from x(0,0) to x'(3,-5), you need I shift to the right 3 and downwards 5.

2. Counterclockwise 180 degrees. This is because 180 degrees is half of a full rotation (360 degrees), meaning the point would be the same no matter which way you rotated 180 degrees.

3. Clockwise 90 degrees. Going counter clock wise 270 degrees is like going around 3/4 of a circle (because 270/360 is 3/4). Just as well, going clock wise 90 degrees is like going 1/4 of the circle, but in the opposite direction. This means they will both land at the same point.

Hope this Helps!
