The first one is correct, just match the numbers with the corresponding sides of each triangle
The space diagonal will have length ...
... d = √(1² +4² +2²) = √(1 +16 +4) = √21
_____
This can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. A drawing can help. Find the length of any face diagonal, then use that length as the leg of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is the space diagonal and whose other leg is the edge length not used in the first calculation.
Answer:
(7, 24, 26)
Step-by-step explanation:
A Pythagorean triple must have an odd number of even numbers. The triple (7, 24, 26) is not a Pythagorean triple.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For an odd integer n, a triple can be formed as ...
(n, (n²-1)/2, (n²+1)/2)
That is, the following will be Pythagorean triples.
- (3, 4, 5)
- (5, 12, 13)
- (7, 24, 25)
- (9, 40, 41)
- (11, 60, 61)
Another series involves even numbers and numbers separated by 2:
(2n, n²-1, n²+1)
- (8, 15, 17)
- (12, 35, 37)
- (16, 63, 65)
In this list, if n is not a multiple of 2, the triple will be a multiple of one from the odd-number series.
It is a good idea to remember a few of these, as they tend to show up in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry problems.
Hey there!
In order to find if a fraction would result in a repeating decimal, recall that a fraction is a division problem written vertically. All that you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator. Also, remember that a repeating decimal will result in the same number after the decimal point as long as the calculator can handle.
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
1 ÷ 9 = 0.11111111...
5 ÷ 11 = 0.45454545...
3 ÷ 0.42857143...
As you can see, two out of your four answer choices give you a repeating decimal. B gives you a repeated number of "1" while C gives you "45". D doesn't count since there is no pattern of repeated numbers that it follows.
Both B and C fall into the category of repeating decimal. If you're only able to choose one answer, I would ask your teacher, a parent, or a peer what they think.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
