Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.

Which exponential function is represented by the values in the table?

svlad2 [7]

Here we use the equation

$y = a(b)^x$

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)

Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

$4 = a(b)^0
\\
4 = a(1) \\
a =4$

Substituting (1,2) we will get

$2 = 4 (b)^1
\\
2/4 = b
\\
b = 1/2$

So we have

$a = 4, b = 1/2$

Therefore , required equation is

$y = 4(1/2)^x$

On a piece of paper, use a protractor to construct a triangle with angle measures of 40° and 60?. What is the measure of the thi

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of any triangle must add up to 180°. If you form a triangle with an angle of 40° and another angle of 60°, the sum of those two angles is 40 + 60 = 100, so the measure of the third angle: 180 - 100 = 80°.
