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.")
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting heads or tails is 50%.
300*50% = 150
OK. First we have to figure out names for all the numbers you mentioned.
The mysterious number . . . . . call it Q
One fifth of the number . . . . . 0.2 Q
Five times the number . . . . . . 5 Q
Seven times the number . . . . 7 Q
(One fifth plus five times the number) . . . 5.2 Q
(Seven times the number less 18) . . . . . . 7 Q - 18
You said that these last two things are equal,
so I can write . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Q - 18 = 5.2 Q
Now, subtract 7Q from each side . . . -18 = -1.8 Q
Divide each side by -1.8 . . . . . . . . . . 10 = Q
Answer:
So overall its saying: to find your answer you have to divide the diameter (15 inches) by 3.14 to get your circumference ! :)
