Which inequality represents the values of that ensure triangle exists? a triangle with these side lengths: AC = 18 units, BC = 6x units, and AB = 2x + 4 units

Respuesta :

Answer:

7/4 < x < 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

PLATO

Inequality which ensure triangle exists is 22 > 4x > 7.

What is inequality ?

" Inequality is defined as the relation between two quantities with the sign of inequality that is >, <, ≤ , ≥ ."

Theorem used

In ΔABC,

AB + BC >AC

AC+ BC >AB

AC + AB > BC

According to the question,

In triangle ABC.

AC = 18units

BC = 6x units,

AB = 2x + 4 units

Substitute the value in the inequality to ensure triangle exists we get,

  [tex]AB + BC > AC[/tex]

⇒[tex]2x + 4 + 6x > 18[/tex]

⇒[tex]8x > 18 - 4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]8x > 14[/tex]

⇒ [tex]4x > 7[/tex]                                    ___(1)

[tex]AC + AB > BC[/tex]

⇒ [tex]18 + 2x + 4 > 6x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]22 > 6x-2x[/tex]

⇒[tex]22 > 4x[/tex]                                   ____(2)

From (1) and (2) inequality of triangle we get,

[tex]22 > 4x > 7[/tex]

Hence, Inequality which ensure triangle exists is 22 > 4x > 7.
