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°

Mr. and Mrs. Garcia took their three children to see a matinee on Saturday . They spent a total of $55.50,1 which included $29.2
zmey [24]
N= number of tickets purchased= 5 people went to the movies
t= cost of each ticket

$55.50 - $29.25= n * t
$55.50 - $29.25= 5t
OR
$55.50= 5t + $29.25

ANSWER: $55.50 - $29.25= 5t OR
$55.50= 5t + $29.25 (there were no equations to choose from, but it should look something like one of these).

Hope this helps! :)

The area of a rectangular flower bed is 24 square feet. The perimeter of the same flower bed is 22 feet. What are the dimensions
Vesna [10]

Answer:

3 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the area as 24 square feet which means that

L×w= 24....eqn(1)

We were given the perimeter as 22 square feet which means that

22= 2(L +w).......eqn(2)

If we divide both cause by 2 in eqn(2) we have

11= L+ w .....eqn(3)

W= 11-L.........eqn(4)

Substitute eqn(4 into eqn(1)

L× (11-L)=24

-L^2 +11L-24=0

If we factorize

(L-8)(L-3)

L=3 or 8

From eqn4)

W=11-L

At L=3

W=11-3=8

Hence, the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft
