Answer:
17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
An obtuse triangle is the triangle in which one of the side is the longest. It contains an obtuse angle and the longest side is the side that is opposite to the vertex of the obtuse angle.
Let the three sides of the obtuse triangle be a, b and c respectively with c as the longest side. Let a = 9 inches and b = 14 inches.
Now we know that for an obtuse triangle,
c > 16.64
Therefore the smallest possible whole number is 17 inches.

Please consider the attached graph.
We have been given that a helicopter flies 8 km due north from A to B. It then flies 5 km from B to C and returns to A as shown in the figure. The measure of angle ABC is 150°. We are asked to find the area of triangle ABC.
We will use trigonometric area formula to solve our given problem.
, where angle b is angle between sides a and c.
For our given triangle and measure of angle b is 150 degrees.
Therefore, the area of the triangle ABC is 10 square kilo-meters and option 'c' is the correct choice.
Answer:
Yes, it would be statistically significant
Step-by-step explanation:
The information given are;
The percentage of jawbreakers it produces that weigh more than 0.4 ounces = 60%
Number of jawbreakers in the sample, n = 800
The mean proportion of jawbreakers that weigh more than 0.4 = 60% = 0.6 = =p
The formula for the standard deviation of a proportion is
Solving for the standard deviation gives;
Given that the mean proportion is 0.6, the expected value of jawbreakers that weigh more than 0.4 in the sample of 800 = 800*0.6 = 480
For statistical significance the difference from the mean = 2× = 2*0.0173 = 0.0346 the equivalent number of Jaw breakers = 800*0.0346 = 27.7
The z-score of 494 jawbreakers is given as follows;
Therefore, the z-score more than 2 × which is significant.
