The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

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 The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, and The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52:

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52,

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, and

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

In this question, the length of the sides are The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, and The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52. The length of these sides should satisfty the following inequalities:

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52,

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, and

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

Since The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52, the inequality The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 is guarenteed to be satisfied.

Simplify The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 to obtain the inequality The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

Similarly, simplify The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 to obtain the inequality The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

Since The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 needs to be a whole number, the greatest The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 that satisfies The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 would be The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52. Similarly, the least The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 that satisfies The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 would be The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52. Thus, The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 could be any whole number between The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 and The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 (inclusive.)

There are a total of The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 distinct whole numbers between The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 and The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 (inclusive.) Thus, the number of possible whole number values for The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52 would be The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 10, №18011059, 20.03.2020 09:52.

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.

Given two angles of a triangle, we can find the third one by subtracting what we have from 180:
180-63.2-75.9=40.9°.  This means C is correct.
This also means that B is correct; if a triangle is equilateral, all angles must be congruent as well, which these are not.

Cross multiplying the proportion we have:
x*1 = 3(y-3)
1x = 3y - 9
Solving for y, we first cancel the 9 by adding:
1x+9 = 3y
Now we cancel the 3 by dividing:
1x/3 + 9/3 = 3y/3
1/3x + 3 = y
In this format, we can see that the slope (m) is 1/3 and the y-intercept (b) is 3.

Going by the directions for the points P, Q, R, and S, PQ would be parallel to SR and PS would be parallel to QR.  These sides are not parallel to any other sides of this figure.

For the last problem, the vertices given do not form a parallelogram.  There is only 1 pair of parallel sides using these points.

The perimeter is the sum of all lengths of the side of a polygon. For a triangle it is expressed as:

P = a + b + c

We let a = 7.3, b = 2.94 and c=x

Therefore, the perimeter of the given triangle is:

14.8 = 7.3 + 2.94 + x

From the options given, the correct answer is the last option. The expression, x - 14.8 = 2.94 + 7.3, will give an erroneous value of the third side. It will be more than the perimeter given.

The perimeter is 14.8 cm, and this equals the sum of the known two side lengths plus x, the length of the third side:

14.8 cm = (7.3 cm + 2.94 cm) + x
14.8 cm = 10.24 + x
    4.56 cm     = x

#1 is fine.
#2 is fine.
#3 is fine.
#4 makes no sense.  x would come out as larger than the given perimeter, which is not possible.
