1. Can the numbers 12, 6, 6 be used to form the sides of a triangle? Why or why not?

No, a triangle is not possible in this case

Why not? Because the two sides 6 and 6 add to 6+6 = 12, which does not exceed the remaining side.

Refer to the triangle inequality theorem. This theorem says that for a triangle to be possible, we need these three facts to be true

where a,b,c are the three sides of the triangle. In short: adding any two sides must be larger than the third side.

I recommend cutting out slips of paper to try making a triangle with sides 12,6, and 6. You'll find its not possible. The two smaller sides combine to perfectly line up with the larger side. The three sides form a line and not a triangle.

b. x- 48 =120

step-by-step explanation:

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
