Triangle TAB has a perimeter of 40 cm. Could the measures of the sides, as shown, actually represent the measures of the sides of a triangle? Justify your answer.

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. And this MUST true for ALL combinations

12 +8    IS NOT greater than 20

4x +2x+2 +x+3 = 40

7x +5=40

7x =3 5

x=5

side 4x  =  20

side x+3 = 8

side 2x+2 = 12

            20 +8 is bigger than 12

             20+12 is   bigger than 8

             12 + 8  IS NOT BIGGER than 20  (it's just the same)

step-by-step explanation:

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
