Answer 2

I am pretty sure it is 7 because the average of numbers 10 and 4 is 7

Answer 3

\[Average=10+4\div2\]

Answer 4

This has nothing to do with average.

Answer 5

So how come there is an option 7

Answer 6

The rule is that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle has to be greater than the length of the third side.

Answer 12

How did you get that answer : )]

Answer 13

You are given 10 and 4
If you choose 4, you have 10, 4, 4. This cannot be bec 4 + 4 is not greater than 10.
If you choose 5, you have 10, 4, 5. This cannot be bec 4 + 5 is not greater than 10.
If you choose 6, you have 10, 4, 6. This cannot be bec 4 + 6 is not greater than 10.

If you choose 7, you have 10, 4, 7.
This is the answer bec all the inequalities below are true:
\(4 + 7 \gt 10\)
\(10 + 7 \gt 4\)
\(4 + 10 \gt 7\)

Answer 14

Yes, the answer is 7, but because of the reason I explained above.
