Question

I need help with number 5 and 6 please it’s due tomorrow at 7:00 am

Answer 1

(5) The mid-segment AB = 17

(6) The set of numbers that will form a triangle is 3,3,5 (OPTION 2)

Explanation:

(5) The mid-segment is calculated as follows;

`3x -1 = (34)/(2) \\\\3x-1 = 17\\\\3x = 18\\\\x = (18)/(3) \\\\x = 6`

The mid-segment AB = 3(6) - 1

= 18 - 1

= 17

(6) The set of numbers that will form a triangle is calculated as follows;

If A, B and C are three sides of a triangle, then the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.

Example; A + B > C

The only option with the correct set of numbers is 2.

2. 3,3,5 ( 3 + 3 > 5)
