Answer:

a) Acute triangle

b) Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A triangle having sides a, b and c is called,

Acute : If a² + b² > c² or a² + c² > b² or b² + c² > a²,

Obtuse : if a² + b² < c² or a² + c² < b² or b² + c² < a²

Right : a² + b² = c² or a² + c² = b² or b² + c² = a²,

a) Let A≡(-1, 1), B≡(7,-2) and C≡(1,-5),

By the distance formula,

AB=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-2-1)^2}=\sqrt{(7+1)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\text{ unit}

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{45}\text{ unit}

CA=\sqrt{40}\text{ unit}

∵ The sum of any two sides is greater than third side,

So, ABC is a triangle,

Now,

AB^2 + BC^2 > CA^2

⇒ ABC is an acute triangle.

b) Let P≡(0,6), Q≡(1,2) and R≡(5,3),

By the distance formula,

PQ = √17 unit,

QR = √17 unit,

RP = √34 unit,

∵ The sum of any two sides of PQR is greater than third side,

⇒ PQR is a triangle ,

Also,

RP^2=PQ^2+QR^2

Hence, PQR is a right triangle.

emmasim [6.3K]
All you have to do is divide the left side of the ratio by 5 and the right side of the ratio by 7. The one that comes out even on both sides is the correct one.

If Andrew were to rest, he would not be moving (walking).  During such a period, the beginning distance would be the same as the ending distance.

In this graph there are two such time intervals:  BC and DE.  Notice how the graph is 'flat' on each; this 'flat' graph indicates a speed of zero.
