Answer:

5² + 12² = 13²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the 3 sides of a right angled triangle. These are the opposite side, hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.

The theorem states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the opposite side and the adjacent side is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse such that mathematically,

a² + b² = c²

where a and b are the lengths of the opposite and adjacent side and c is the length of the hypotenuse

Considering the numbers 5, 12 and 13,

5² + 12² = 25 + 144

= 169

= 13²

Hence

5² + 12² = 13²

The numbers 5, 12 and 13 can be used to correctly identify the sides of a right triangle, and this can be proven by using the Pythagorean Theorem.  

5² + 12² = 13²
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169

5 and 12 are the legs, and 13 is the hypotenuse. Hopefully this is what the question is asking. :)

Ksenya-84 [330]
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.

Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as: 

3c + 4b = 11.33   (1)

Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as: 

9c + 5b = 23.56   (2)

<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.

Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:

3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56

9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43

7b = 10.43

b = $1.49

Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:

3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33

3c = 5.37

c = $ 1.79

Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.

So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05

Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>
