Consider the following statement: the sum of two numbers is always greater than the larger number. which of the following is true?

a the statement is true because adding is always the act of increasing the size of a quantity; therefore, the new size is always bigger.

b the statement is true because the product of two numbers is always greater than the larger number, and multiplication is just repeated addition.

c the statement is false because any number times zero is zero, with is not larger than the number.

d the statement is false because of the counterexample:

C because you are multiplying. Since you can do zero multiplied zero to get zero, therefore, zero has not changed as the bigger number.

step-by-step explanation:

10.50 + taxes which added up to 11.50

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.
