The answer would be three. The reasons are clear. You can't form a closed figure when you just have two sides. All they would do is just intersect each other. Also, one side must intersect with two other noncollinear sides. This means that a polygon has to have at least three sides.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing length is 13 because,
Lets say the top triangle is A and the bottom triangle is B.
Triangle A gives us the side GF, and Triangle B gives us the sides TU and ST. Since the triangles are similar(as stated in the problem), we can pair 2 sides GF(A) and TU(B) which is 11:22.(one way I usually figure which sides are similar is by first- matching the hypotenuse, then checking which of the remaining two is longer.. if that made any sense). You can see that their relationship is x2 or /2 (In another word, from A to B is multiplication- ex: 11 * 2 is 22, and from B to A is division- ex 22/2 is 11.) Since the missing number is the hypotenuse of triangle A and you know the Hypotenuse of triangle B all you have to do is divide side TS by 2 to get side SF. So the missing side is 13.
Answer: 13
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this absolute value inequality,
our goal is to get the absolute value by itself on one side of the inequality.
So start by adding 2 to both sides and we have 4|x + 5| ≤ 12.
Now divide both sides by 3 and we have |x + 5| ≤ 3.
Now the the absolute value is isolated, we can split this up.
The first inequality will look exactly like the one
we have right now except for the absolute value.
For the second one, we flip the sign and change the 3 to a negative.
So we have x + 5 ≤ 3 or x + 5 ≥ -3.
Solving each inequality from here, we have x ≤ -2 or x ≥ -8.
