What is the minimum and maximum whole number side length for △ABC with given side lengths of 9 cm and 11 cm? Please explain why

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume that triangle ABC is a right angled triangle. This means that we can apply Pythagoras theorem in determining the unknown side length.

For the case of the minimum side length, we would assume that the unknown length, L is one of the shorter legs of the triangle. By applying Pythagoras theorem, it becomes

11² = 9² + L²

L² = 121 - 81 = 40

L = √40 = 6.32

For the case of the maximum side length, we would assume that the unknown length, L is one of the hypotenuse of the triangle. By applying Pythagoras theorem, it becomes

L² = 9² + 11²

L² = 81 + 121 = 202

L = √202 = 14.21

The minimum side length is 6.32 and the maximum side length is 14.21

step-by-step explanation:

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
