Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the smaller two sides must be larger than the third side
8+7 > 15
15 >15
This is not true so the three sides cannot form a triangle
Answer: x = 7
Step-by-step explanation: In order for a parallelogram to be a square, the angles at the corners must be 90 degrees, and the diagonals that bisect the corner angles must be 45 degrees.
4x + 17 = 45 Subtract 17 from both sides.
4x = 28 Divide both sides by 4
x = 7
It all depends on what you are comparing it to... if you want what fraction of a meter it is...
There are 10 decimeters per 1 meter so 1 dm is 1/10 of a meter which means 6 dm = 6 × 1/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
6 dm = 3/5 m
Have a look at the image attachment. I've added the points A, B, C, D such that
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD
We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x
Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625
So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to
10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)
