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.

By which number -7÷25 should be divided to get -1÷15
fredd [130]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set it up like an equation first:

\frac{\frac{-7}{25} }{x}=-\frac{1}{15} and then bring up the lower fraction, flip it, and multiply:

-\frac{7}{25}*\frac{1}{x}=-\frac{1}{15}

Simplify to

-\frac{7}{25x}=-\frac{1}{15} and cross multiply to get

-25x = -105 and divide both sides by -25 to get that

x=\frac{105}{25}=\frac{21}{5}
