The sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. use the triangle shown to write and solve three inequalities. your friend claims that the value of x can be 1. is your friend correct? explain.

no xnever be equal to 1 as 5+1 will never be greater than 7 so at least x=3

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
