Answer:
(5) The mid-segment AB = 17
(6) The set of numbers that will form a triangle is 3,3,5 (OPTION 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(5) The mid-segment is calculated as follows;
[tex]3x -1 = \frac{34}{2} \\\\3x-1 = 17\\\\3x = 18\\\\x = \frac{18}{3} \\\\x = 6[/tex]
The mid-segment AB = 3(6) - 1
= 18 - 1
= 17
(6) The set of numbers that will form a triangle is calculated as follows;
If A, B and C are three sides of a triangle, then the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.
Example; A + B > C
The only option with the correct set of numbers is 2.
2. 3,3,5 ( 3 + 3 > 5)
