Algebra.Com's Answer #126796 by josmiceli(19441) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Geometry involves a lot of picturing things in your head \n" ); document.write( "(1) Imagine these lines laid one on top of the other. \n" ); document.write( "The difference in their lengths is \n" ); document.write( "Now hold the end where they both start fixed. Rotate \n" ); document.write( "the smaller line very slightly. You've got a triangle \n" ); document.write( "that is something like 7, 5, 2.0001 \n" ); document.write( "In order to have a triangle at all, the 3rd side has to \n" ); document.write( "be greater than \n" ); document.write( "Now keep the point where they meet fixed and rotate the \n" ); document.write( "smaller line until it's directly opposite from where it \n" ); document.write( "started (180 degree rotation). Now rotate the smaller line \n" ); document.write( "very slightly backwards. Now you have a triangle that looks \n" ); document.write( "like 7,5, 11.999 \n" ); document.write( "From this you see the 3rd side has to be less than \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2) Sorry, don't have time \n" ); document.write( "(3) Stated wrong. Inches is not a measure of an angle \n" ); document.write( "Angles are measured in degrees \n" ); document.write( " |
