Answer:

triangle given is not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of a triangle are given as:

                                     24 , 32 , 42

Find:-

is it a right triangle? explain

Solution:-

- Any triangle which conforms to the pythagorean theorem can be classified as a right angle triangle.

- The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the longest side length known as hypotenuse (H) should be equal to the sum of square of other two side lengths ( Perpendicular / opposite [ P ] and Base / Adjacent [ B] ).

- This can be mathematically expressed as:

                                     H^2 = P^2 + B^2

- From the given side lengths. The largest side length is hypotenuse H = 42. While P and B can be used interchangeably for the other two side lengths. So using the theorem we have:

                                     42^2 = 32^2 + 24^2

                                     1764 : 1024 + 576

                                    1764 ≠ 1600

- We see that the three side lengths of the triangle does not conform to theorem. So we can conclude that the triangle given is not a right triangle.

When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute right or obtuse
square all 3 sides
sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides
compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side
if sum > 3rd side squared it's an acute triangle
if sum = 3rd side squared it's a right triangle
if sum < 3rd side squared it's an obtuse triangle

24 32 42

24*24 = 576
32*32 = 1,024
42*42 = 1,764

Sum of the square of 2 shortest sides = 1,600

Since 1,600 < 1,764 these sides form an obtuse triangle.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

$75.08

Step-by-step explanation:

x over 57.75 = 30 over 100

57.75 * 30

1732.5 / 100

17.325

57.75 + 17.325

75.075

Simplify = $75.08
