Answer:

5, 15, 19}

According to the triangle i

nequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a ∆ must be greater than the length of the third side.

Thus, any of the given sets of numbers will represent the 3 sides of a ∆, if the following condition is satisfied:

a + b > c

b + c > a

a + c > b

Where a and b are the smaller side lengths, and c is the length of the longest side.

Let's check each set of numbers given to see if any satisfies this condition.

✍️Option 1: {6, 20, 28}

6 + 20 is not greater than 28

20 + 28 > 6

6 + 28 > 20

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆.

✍️Option 2: {4, 11, 15}

4 + 11 = 15

11 + 15 > 4

4 + 15 > 11

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆.

Option 3: {9, 19, 30}

9 + 19 is not greater than 30

19 + 30 > 9

9 + 30 > 19

❌This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆

Option 4: {5, 15, 19}

5 + 15 > 19

15 + 19 > 5

5 + 19 > 15

✅This set of numbers does not represent the sides of a ∆

Only option 4, satisfied the condition stated earlier, therefore, based on the triangle inequality theorem, {5, 15, 19}, is the set of numbers that represents the 3 sides of a triangle.

4. A river tour boat is going down a stream to a park for lunch and then back up. It is a 60-mile round trip. On
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water is 10 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The trip there, and the trip back are the same -- 30 miles

Let the rate of the boat = x

Let the rate of the water = y

30 = 2*(x + y)

30 = 6*(x - y)

Divide the top equation by 2

Divide the bottom equation by 6

15 = x + y

<u>5  = x - y   </u>            Add the equations together.

20 = 2x                 Divide by 2

20/2 = x

x = 10
