Answer:

20.

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be strictly greater than the length of the third side. For example, if the length of the three sides are a, b, and c:

a + b > c,

a + c > b, and

b + c > a.

In this question, the length of the sides are 10, 24, and x. The length of these sides should satisfty the following inequalities:

10 + 24 > x,

10 + x > 24, and

24 + x > 10.

Since x > 0, the inequality 24 + x > 10 is guarenteed to be satisfied.

Simplify 10 + 24 > x to obtain the inequality x < 35.

Similarly, simplify 10 + x > 24 to obtain the inequality x > 14.

Since x needs to be a whole number, the greatest x that satisfies x < 35 would be 34. Similarly, the least x\! that satisfies x > 14 would be 15. Thus, x\!\! could be any whole number between 15\! and 34\! (inclusive.)

There are a total of 34 - 15 + 1 = 20 distinct whole numbers between 15 and 34 (inclusive.) Thus, the number of possible whole number values for x would be 20.

Which of the given values are in the interval (-3,1]?
Vladimir [108]

The values coming in the interval (-3,1] are -2, -1, 0, and 1.

<h3>What is defined as the term interval notations?</h3>
  • An interval is represented on a number line using interval notation. In all other sayings, it is a method of writing real number line subsets.
  • An interval is made up of numbers that fall between two specific data set.
  • Intervals can be categorized according to the numbers in the set.
  1. Interval Open: The endpoints of a inequality are not included in this type of interval.
  2. Interval Closure; The endpoints of a inequality are included in this type of interval.
  3. Interval with Half-Open Doors: This interval contains only one of inequality's endpoints.

The given interval notation is;

(-3,1], it is the case of half open half close.

-3 comes with the open interval, it means its value will not be included in the interval.

1 is with the closed interval, it means its value will be included in the interval.

Thus, the values lying between the interval (-3, 1] are  -2, -1, 0, and 1.
