Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse

<h3>Right angled triangle</h3>

A right angles triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides and angles with one of its angles to be 90 degrees.

For the given coordinates to be a right angled triangle, one of the line must be perpendicular to the other and for two lines to be perpendicular, the product of its slope must be -1.

Find the slopes of AB, BC and AC

Slope of AB = 5-11/1-6
Slope of AB = -6/-5 = 6/5

Slope of BC = 0-5/7-1
Slope of BC = -5/6

Slope of AC = 0-11/7-6
Slope of AC = -11/1. = -11

Take the product of AB and BC
AB * BC = 6/5 * -5/6
AB * BC = -1

Since the product of AB and BC is -1, hence the ABC is a right triangle and the length AC is the hypotenuse

A coin collector has $45 in just dimes and quarters in a piggy bank he counted all the coins and there are 240 total how many ea
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The number of <u>dimes are 100</u> and number of <u>quarters are 140.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes be 'd' and quarters be 'q'.

Given:

The sum of amount is $45.

The total number of coins are 240.

1 dime = $0.10

∴ 'd' dimes = \$0.10d

1 quarter = $0.25

∴ 'q' quarters = \$0.25q

Now, as per question:

d+m=240-----1\\0.1d+0.25q=45---2

Multiplying equation (1) by -0.1 and adding the result to equation (2), we get:

-0.1d-0.1q=240\times -0.1\\-0.1d-0.1q=-24\\0.1d+0.25q=45\\-----------\\0.15q=21\\q=\frac{21}{0.15}=140\\\\d=240-q=240-140=100

Therefore, the number of dimes are 100 and number of quarters are 140.
