I apologize, but I cannot see the image you're referring to in your question. However, if you describe the distances represented in the diagram, I can help you determine which statement is true based on those distances.
Use the image to answer the question.
The diagram shows the distance between your house, the bank, and the farmer’s market. You need to stop at the bank before going to the farmer’s market. Given the information in the diagram, identify which statement is true.

Based on your description, it sounds like the triangle represents the distances between your house, the bank, and the farmer's market, with a total distance of 5 miles indicated at the top.
Given that you need to go from your house to the bank and then to the farmer's market, you can analyze the options:
-
If the total distance from your house to the bank to the farmer's market is indicated as equal to 5 miles, then the correct statement would be: "The distance from your house to the bank and then the farmer’s market is equal to 5 miles."
-
The other options stating that the distance is greater than 5 miles, equal to 8 miles, or less than 5 miles would not be correct if the diagram indicates that the total distance is exactly 5 miles.
Given this reasoning, the correct statement is:
The distance from your house to the bank and then the farmer’s market is equal to 5 miles.
Thank you for the clarification! If the top of the triangle represents the total distance of 5 miles from your house to the farmer's market directly, and the two sides represent the distances from your house to the bank and then from the bank to the farmer's market, you can assess each side to determine the total distance.
In a triangle, the shortest path between two points is a straight line. If the distance from your house to the bank (first side) plus the distance from the bank to the farmer’s market (second side) equals the distance from your house directly to the farmer's market (the top side), then the distances you are considering should indeed sum to 5 miles.
If the diagram simply shows a total of 5 miles at the top without specifying the distances for the other two sides:
- If the individual distances are both less than 5 miles when combined, then it will be less than 5 miles.
- If either distance equals or exceeds another, you would need to reassess based on the specific lengths of those sides.
Without specific numbers for the two sides of the triangle, the safest conclusion you can draw based on what you provided is:
- If it shows a straight path (5 miles) from your house to the farmer's market, and you must stop at the bank, the total of the two lengths must be at least 5 miles if they are not directly equal.
Ultimately, if you're unsure about the exact distances of the sides, I recommend checking the values written next to each side of the triangle. If you can clarify further, I'd be happy to assist!
