Question

PLEASE HELP ALOT OF POINYSAshlee is working with a local construction firm to improve Interstate 35.
The construction firm has created steel supports that will be arranged
into triangular shapes with side lengths of 6 feet, 9 feet, and where the
third side of each triangle has various lengths. They have asked Ashlee to
design a package that she could guarantee would fit all the materials. She
decided to use constructions to determine the maximum value for the
unknown side, x, and then ship all her materials in a box of length x feet.
Which is the best conclusion for Ashlee to make?

Answer 1

The best conclusion for Ashlee to make is (c) Ashlee determined that the box must be less than 15 feet by verifying the triangle inequality theorem.

How to determine the maximum lengths?

The side lengths of the triangle are given as:

6 feet and 9 feet

Let the third side be x.

By triangle inequality theorem, we have:

a + b > c

So, we have

6 + 9 > x

6 + x > 9

9 + x > 6

Evaluate the inequalities

15 > x

x > 3

x > -3

Remove the negative inequality

15 > x

x > 3

Combine the inequalities

3 < x < 15

So, the maximum side is less than 15

Hence, the best conclusion for Ashlee to make is (c) Ashlee determined that the box must be less than 15 feet by verifying the triangle inequality theorem.
