Complete question is;

Andrea is given ABC and told that a² + b² = c². She draws right triangle RTS with legs measuring a and b and hypotenuse measuring 2. Which best describes what Andrea should

do in order to prove that ABC is a right triangle?

Answer:

Andrea should show that c = 2, so: ∡ABC = ∡RTS and ∡C = ∡S. Hence, ∡C is a right angled triangle, hence ΔABC is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are told that the given sides of the triangle are a, b and c. Now, Andrea is able to draw the two sides of the right triangle with sides = a and b and the third, hypotenuse equal to 2. Since the length of the hypotenuse = 2, then we have;

2² = a² + b²

However, we are told that c² = a² + b²

Therefore, c = 2

Hence, Andrea should show that c = 2 so ΔABC = ΔRTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle since it is the angle opposite to the hypotenuse c and therefore, ΔABC is a right triangle.

Answer:

The radius is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is :  \p*radius^2

To work out the length of the radius you would first need to divide the area of  78.5 cm by pi (pi=3.14), this gives you 25cm^2\\. This is because by dividing the area by pi we are isolating the value of the radius squared.

The final step is to work out the radius. You can do this by finding the square root of the radius squared which is 25, this gives you 5 cm. This means that the radius is 5 cm. This is because the square root is a number that when squared equals that number.

1) Divide 78.5 by pi.

78.5/\pi=25cm^2

2) Find the square root of 25 cm squared.

\sqrt{25} =5 cm

In this question pi is 3.14

Answer:

  (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  cot(x) ≥ 1

The cotangent function decreases from ∞ to 1 in the domain (0, π/4], and again in the domain (π, 5π/4]. The solution is the union of these two intervals.

  x ∈ (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

_____

(a, b] is interval notation for a < x ≤ b

Can you please please help graph the line? Thanks!!!!!
Elis [28]

Because we know x stays constant, draw a point on (0,5). then draw a line extending up and down from (0,5) indefinitely because no matter what y is, x always stays the same--5.
