One side of the triangle is 4 cm, and the sum of the other two sides is equal to a whole number of cm. What is the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle?
A. 9 cm
B. 10 cm
C. 11 cm
D. 15 cm
E. 17 cm

A) 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Inequality, any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the remaining side.

In order to minimize the perimeter, we will assume that 4 cm is the longest side.

Thus, the two remaining sides must be greater than 4.

Since we are given that the sum of the two remaining sides is a whole number, the smallest whole number value greater than 4 is 5.

Hence, the smallest perimeter possible 9 cm.

Our answer is A.

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
