How can you decompose 5/15 and 8/12 ?

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
