Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given sides of the triangle are:
Consider the first length of the triangle as
Represent the value in a range:
Calculate the root of the range.
Estimate the value of
Consider the second length of the triangle as
Represent the value in a range:
Calculate the root of the range.
Estimate the value of
Consider the third length of the triangle as
Represent the value in a range:
Calculate the root of the range.
Estimate the value of
Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.
Consider the third side of the triangle as
Check the range using the inequality of triangle.
It is seen the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is not greater than the third side in this cases.
Hence, the triangle cannot be drawn.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
