You are asked to draw a triangle with side lengths of 8 inches and 10 inches. what is the longest whole number length that your third side can be? group of answer choices 18 20 16 21

Step-by-step explanation:

if a,b,c are three sides of a triangle,then a<b+c,b<c+a,c<a+b

or in general we can say any side < sum of other two sides.

third side<8+10

or third side <18

Here third side=16

if you are asked smallest side then any side >difference of other two sides.

third side >10-8 or>2

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
