The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 26 meters and 48 meters. what is the range of possible lengths, in meters, for the third side, x, of this triangle?

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form

answer:   2 multiplied by x =24

step-by-step explanation:

=

x=0.8898305 is the answer to that equation

option c is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the rule regarding the sides of triangle is:

(length of longest side)^2 = square of sum of other two sides.

the sides given are:

6, 10 and 8.

applying the rule we will get:

(10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)^2

100 = 36+64

100 = 100

so, her answer is incorrect.

no, she should have added 6^2 and 8^2 and compared that to 10^2.

so, option c is correct.
