Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given that the lengths of the other two sides are 2 feet and 40 inches.
90 points

The possible lengths of the third side of the triangle will be 16 inches to 64 inches.

First we'll need to calculate the shortest value of the remaining side and this will be:

= 40 - 2(12)

= 40 - 24

= 16 inches

Secondly we'll need to calculate the longest value of the remaining side and this will be:

= 40 + 2(12)

= 40 + 24

= 64 inches

Therefore, the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle will be 16 inches to 64 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side of any triangle must be between the difference and sum of the lengths of the other two sides.

Given that the lengths of the other two sides are 2 feet and 40 inches,

the difference = 40 inches - 2 feet = 40 - 2*12 = 40 - 24 = 16 inches; and

the sum = 40 inches + 2 feet = 40 + 2*12 = 40 + 24 = 64 inches.

So the possible length is between 16 to 64 inches.

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.
