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.

Solve the equation 29 - (x+8) = 6x - 7
max2010maxim [7]
First step you should do is s<span>implify both sides of your equation:
</span>29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
<span>Combine Like Terms:
</span>(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
<span>Subtract 6x from both sides:
</span>-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
<span>Subtract 21 from both sides:
</span>-7x+21-21=-7-21 
-7x=-28 
<span>Divide both sides by -7:
</span>-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4
