Oliver has 2 pieces of rope that are each 3 1/2 ft long. he also has a piece of string that is 2 1/4 ft long. olivier needs to cut this string into 3 pieces that are all the same length to finish an art project. how long should each piece of string be?

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:

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
