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°

Fofino [41]

Answer:

42 strawberries are in each basket. 4 strawberries are left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many she put into each basket, you need to divide 256/6. Your answer should 42.6666667. Round down to 42.

To find out how many are left over, multiply 42 x 6. You need to do this to figure out how many strawberries total she used trying to put them evenly into the baskets. Your answer should be 252. Then, you subtract 256 - 252. You do this to find out how many are left over. Your answer is 4.
