kona has a green pencil that has a length of 3 inches and a blue pencil that has a length of 4.5 inches. she finds a red pencil that has a length of 8 inches. kona says she cannot make a triangle with these pencils. is kona correct

5/12

step-by-step explanation:

give them both a common denominator so you get 9/12 and 4/12. subtract 9/12 from 4/12 to get 5/12.

1. which statement below is true for hyperbolic geometry?

answer: d  

the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is always less than 180 degrees.

2. identify the statement that is true in spherical geometry.

answer: d  

the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is greater than 180.

3. what can be said about the vertices of an equilateral triangle drawn in poincaré’s system?

answer: b  

the vertices are equidistant from the center of the circle.

4. satellites sputnik, yeltsin, and plekov often temporarily line up in order in a great circle. the circumference of the earth is 24,900 miles, and the satellites orbit at about 150 miles above the surface. if, while in a great circle, sputnik is 9,000 miles from yeltsin, and yeltsin is 10,500 miles from plekov, how far apart are sputnik and plekov?

answer: b  

6,342 miles

5. identify the statement that is true in spherical geometry.

answer: d  

two distinct lines intersect in two points.
