Answer:
C 24
D 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the choices offered:
5 and 7 will not form a triangle* with any of the other lengths
7 and 12 will not form a triangle with any of the other (longer) lengths
7 and 24 will form a triangle with the other possibilities, 25 and 29. (needs further consideration)
7 and 25 will not form a right triangle with 29, because a right triangle cannot have 3 odd-length sides.
__
<em>Further consideration</em>
7^2 +24^2 = 49 +576 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . checking Pythagorean theorem
The side measures 7, 24, 25 will form a right triangle.
_____
* A triangle can be formed from three segments only if the sum of the shortest two exceeds the length of the longest one.
Answer:
1.25 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of trail. We have been given that after Paul hiked of a mile, he was of the way along the trail.
Let need to find x such that of x equals .
Therefore, the trail is 1.25 miles long.
Answer:
39/37 and 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, let's assume that 9-8x is positive (we will do this to get rid of the absolute value, but then check later). We get 9(9 - 8x) = 2x + 3, or 81 - 72x = 2x + 3, so 74x = 78 and x = 39/37. If we assume 9-8x is negative, the |9-8x| will turn into 8x-9, so we get 9(8x - 9) = 2x + 3, or 72x - 81 = 2x + 3 , so 70x = 84 and x = 6/5. If we plug the values back in, 9-8(39/37) needs to be positive, which works, and 9-8(6/5) needs to be negative, and this works, so the answers are 39/37 and 6/5.
When x=0 in the equation (no delivered papers), y = 0 + 18 = 18.
Kevin is paid 18 cents if he doesn't delivery any newspapers.
3/1 is your slope for that
