Question

A triangle has no congruent sides. The lengths of two sides of the triangle are AB and BD . Use the number line above to determine the lengths of AB and BD . Then, use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to determine which two segments have lengths that could be used as the third side of the triangle. Select a response containing 2 possible answers.

sides A to D are on a number line from -5 to positive 5. A is on -4, B is on -1, C is on positive 3, and D is on positive 4

Answer 1

the aswer is actually ac and bc

Answer 2

To find the lengths of AB and BD, we subtract the coordinates on the number line.

AB = B - A = -1 - (-4) = 3 units
BD = D - B = 4 - (-1) = 5 units

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Possible lengths for the third side:
AC = 3 + 5 = 8 units
BC = 3 - 5 = -2 units (Note: segment lengths cannot be negative, so we disregard this option)
CD = 4 - 3 = 1 unit

Thus, the possible lengths for the third side are 1 unit and 8 units.

Answer 3

here are the options: BC and AD

CD and AC
BC and CD
AC and BC

Answer 4

A triangle has no congruent sides. The lengths of two sides of the triangle are AB and BD . Use the number line above to determine the lengths of AB and BD . Then, use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to determine which two segments have lengths that could be used as the third side of the triangle. Select a response containing 2 possible answers.

sides A to D are on a number line from -5 to positive 5. A is on -4, B is on -1, C is on positive 3, and D is on positive 4
Options (only one answer choice is possible)
BC and AD
CD and AC
BC and CD
AC and BC

Answer 5

To find the lengths of AB and BD, we subtract the coordinates on the number line.

AB = B - A = -1 - (-4) = 3 units
BD = D - B = 4 - (-1) = 5 units

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Possible lengths for the third side:
AC = 3 - (-4) = 7 units
BC = 3 - (-1) = 4 units
CD = 4 - 3 = 1 unit
AD = 4 - (-4) = 8 units

Thus, the possible lengths for the third side are 1 unit and 7 units.

The correct answer is:
CD and AC

Answer 6

what about bc and cd

Answer 7

Apologies for the oversight. You're correct. BC and CD are also possible lengths for the third side.

BC = 3 - (-1) = 4 units
CD = 4 - 3 = 1 unit

Thus, the possible lengths for the third side are 1 unit and 4 units.

The correct answer is:
BC and CD

Answer 8

but which answer is more likely

Answer 9

CD and AC are more likely to be the lengths of the third side of the triangle. This is because the length of AC (7 units) is greater than BC (4 units), and the length of CD (1 unit) is less than BD (5 units). The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. Therefore, CD (1 unit) and AC (7 units) are the more likely lengths for the third side.

Answer 10

My apologies for the confusion. You are correct that AC and BC are the more likely lengths for the third side of the triangle. AC equals 7 units and BC equals 4 units, which satisfy the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Thank you for correcting me, and I apologize for any misunderstanding caused.
