The given numbers (can be taken as) the length of the three sides of a

(right) triangle.

Correct response:

  • 13² = 5² + 12², therefore,  5, 12, and 13 are a Pythagorean triple
  • The acute angles are; θ₁ ≈ 67.38°, and θ₂ ≈ 22.62°

<h3>Method of analysis to verify a Pythagorean triple</h3>

A Pythagorean triple are three positive integers, <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> that are

related as follows;

c² = a² + b²

Therefore;

c = \mathbf{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}

Where;

a = 5, b = 12, we have;

\mathbf{\sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} } = 13 = c

Therefore;

  • <u>The three numbers form a</u><u> </u><u>Pythagorean triple</u>, the hypotenuse side (longest side = c = 13)

The acute angles are found as follows;

From trigonometric ratio, we have;

An \ tangent \ of \ acute \ angle \ \theta_1, \ \tan(\theta_1) = \dfrac{12}{5} = \mathbf{ 2.4}

Which gives;

  • An acute angle of the right triangle, θ₁ = arctan(2.4) ≈ <u>67.38°</u>

The acute angles of a right triangle are complimentary.

Therefore;

  • The other acute angle is therefore, θ₂ ≈ 90° - 67.38° = <u>22.62°</u>

A triangle with lengths 5, 12, and 13 is a Pythagorean triple

The approximate acute angles are 22.6° and 67.4°

Pythagorean triple

Pythagorean triple consist of positive number(a, b, c) such that it obeys the rule:

  • c² = a² + b²

A triangle whose sides form a Pythagorean triple is called a right angle triangle.

The longest side is the hypotenuse side.

Therefore,

  • 5² + 12²
  • 25 + 144 = 169
  • √169  = 13

Therefore,

5² + 12² = 13²

This means the triangle is a Pythagorean triple.

<h3>Acute angles</h3>

Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees. This means the other two angles are acute angle.

Therefore, let's find them

  • tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent = tan ∅ = 5 / 12 = ∅ = 22.6198649155 = 22.6°
  • 180 - 22.6 - 90 = 67.4°

Answer:  d =  -16 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________________

Given:  0.2 (d − 6) = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d  ; Solve for "d" ;
_________________________________________
→ Note the distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
            a (b + c) = ab + ac ;
            a (b − c) = ab − ac ;
________________________________________
As such, we can expand the left-hand side of the question:
______________________________________________
→ 0.2 (d − 6) = (0.2 *d) − (0.2 *6)  = 0.2 d − 1.2; 
________________________________________
And rewrite the entire equation: 
________________________________________
→ 0.2 d − 1.2 = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d ;
__________________________________________
→ Let us multiply the ENTIRE equation (both sides) by "10"; to get rid of the decimals:
_________________________________________
   → 10 * {0.2 d − 1.2 = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d} ;
___________________________________________
   →  2d − 12 = 3d + 50 − 30 + 1d ;  
   
→ Combine the "like terms",  +3d , +1d  ; to get 4d; on the 'right-hand side' of the equation ; and rewrite:

 →  2d − 12 = 4d + 50 − 30 ;  

 →  Now add "12"; and subtract "2d" from EACH SIDE of the equation; 

 →  2d − 12 + 12 − 2d= 4d + 50 − 30 + 12 − 2d ;

→  0 = 2d + 32 ;  ↔  2d + 32 = 0 ; 

                           → Subtract "32" from each side of the equation:
_________________________________________________________
          → 2d + 32 − 32 = 0 − 32 ;
    
          → 2d  = - 32
__________________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "d" on ONE side of the equation; and to solve for "d" ;
____________________________________________________
         →   2d / 2  =  - 32 / 2 ; 
_________________________________________
         →         d  =  - 16  ;  which is our answer.
_______________________________________________________ 
     Let us check our answer by plugging this value for "d" in the original equation to see if the equation holds true when "d = -16" ; 
___________________________________________________
               →  0.2 (d − 6) = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d ;
_______________________________________________
    →  Let us start with the "left-hand side".
_______________________________________
         → 0.2 (d − 6) ;  ↔ 0.2*(-16 − 6) ; ↔ 0.2*(-22) = -4.4.
_____________________________________________
When "d" = -16 in the right-hand side of the equation,
                                                          is the result, "-4.4" ???
_______________________________________________
   →  0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d = ? -4.4 ???
________________________________________
    →  (0.3 * -16)  + 5 − 3 + (0.1 * -16) =? -4.4???
_____________________________________________
    →  (-4.8) + 5 − 3 + (-1.6)  = ? -4.4????
___________________________________________
   →  (-4.8) + 5 − 3  − (1.6)  = ? -4.4????

→ -4.4 =? -4.4??? Yes!!!
