tell how you could use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater
How could you determine the area of a triangle?
Good Question! First, multiply the base x height. Then, divide the answer by 2.
Does 25 degrees 68 degrees 87 degrees make a triangle?
Yes, those three numbers could represent the angles of a triangle, since their sum is 180.
Which set of numbers could be the sides of a right triangle?
They are call Pythagorean triples as for example 3, 4 and 5
Could the side lengths 9 15 and 10 represent a right triangle?
No. In order to be the sides of a right triangle, the square of one of the numbers must be the sum of the squares of the other two numbers. (the square of 9) + (the square of 10) = 181 but (the square of 15) = 225 .
How could you determine if a set of three numbers defines a right triangle?
If they are a Pythagorean triple then they will form a right angle triangle
What is the diameter of a circle with a triangle in it?
It could be anything. Just because it has a triangle in it doesn't in any way determine its diameter.
Can a triangle have a negative side?
The sides of a triangle are its lengths are cannot be negative. However, you could place a triangle on coordinate system and some points where the vertices are could be negative numbers.
Which of the following could be the side measures of a right triangle?
There are no numbers on that list that could be the sides of a right triangle. Oh, all right. The following is the answer:
Which three measurements could be the length of the sides of a triangle?
The list that accompanies the question doesn't contain any numbers that could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Which postulate or theorem can be used to prove that triangle PRS is congruent to triangle QRS?
We cannot determine without seeing the data for PRS & QRS. My guess though would be ASA Though it could also be SSS
How many perfect numbers are there?
There is no way to determine the amount of perfect numbers there are. The number could be infinite, but this has yet to be proven. It has also yet to be proven if there are any odd perfect numbers.
Could the side lengths 9 15 and 10 represent a right triangle?
No. In order to be the sides of a right triangle, the square of one of the numbers must be the sum of the squares of the other two numbers. (the square of 9) + (the square of 10) = 181 but (the square of 15) = 225 .
