Which of the following possibilities will NOT form a triangle? (5 points)

Mathematics

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Side = 5 ft, side = 15 ft, side = 3 ft

Explanation:

The two sides 5 ft and 3 ft add to 5+3 = 8 ft which is not larger than the 15 ft side. This is exactly why a triangle is not possible here.

If we want a triangle to happen, then adding any two sides must be larger than the third side.

If we want a triangle with sides a,b,c, then we need the following to be true

  • a+b > c
  • a+c > b
  • b+c > a

Refer to the triangle inequality theorem for more information.

The midpoint of AB is M(3, -1). If the coordinates of A are (5,1), what are the
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Given parameters:

Midpoint of AB =  M(3, -1)

Coordinates of A = (5,1)

Unknown:

Coordinates of B = ?

Solution:

To find the mid point of any line, we use the expression below;

              x_{m}   = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}  }{2}    and y_{m}  = \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}  }{2}

where x_{m}  and y_{m} = coordinates of the mid points = 3 and -1

   x₁  = 5 and y₁ = 1

  x₂ = ?  and y₂ = ?

Now let us input the variables and solve,

            3  = \frac{5 + x_{2} }{2}           and     -1 = \frac{1 + y_{2} }{2}

    5 +  x₂  = 6                          -2 = 1  + y₂

            x₂ = 1                             y₂ = -2 -1 = -3

The coordinates of B = 1, -3

Answer:

it's a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

it just moved (3,0). If it were a rotation the y-axis wouldn't be the same. If it were a reflection you would be able to flip the blue triangle onto the red triangle.
