Answer:
All 3 are right triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle c^2 = a^2 + b^2 where c is the longest side. ( by Pythagoras).
a) 3^2 = 9, 6^2 = 36 and √27 ^ 2 = 27
36 = 9 + 27
So this is a right triangle.
b)
17^2 = 289, 15^2 = 225 and 8^2 = 64
289 = 225 + 64
Also right triangle.
c) √50 ^ 2 = 50, 5^2 = 25 and 5^2 = 25
So also right triangle.
In each case divide the price by the number of cans.
The best buy is the lowest price.
$12.53/7 = $1.79
$5.97/3 = $1.99
$7.95/5 = $1.59
$8.34/6 = $1.39
The fourth ad, $8.34 for 6 cans results in the lowest price per can, $1.39.
The fourth ad is the best buy.
