If you have the length of each side, apply the pythagorean theorem to the triangle. If you get a true statement, then you can be sure that you do indeed have a right triangle. If you get a false statement then you can be sure that your triangle is not a right triangle.
Pythagorean therem is : A squared + B squared = C squared
Answer:
cost of nachos = $3.45
Cost of tacos = $1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost of nachos
y = cost of tacos
11x + 18y = 64.95 (1)
6x + 15y = 43.20 (2)
Multiply (1) by 6 and (2) by 11 to eliminate x
66x + 108y = 389.70
66x + 165y = 475.20
Subtract to eliminate x
165y - 108y = 475.20 - 389.70
57y = 85.50
y = 85.50/57
y = 1.5
Substitute y = 1.5 to find x
11x + 18y = 64.95 (1)
11x + 18(1.5) = 64.95
11x + 27 = 64.95
11x = 64.95 - 27
11x = 37.95
x = 37.95/11
x = 3.45
cost of nachos = $3.45
Cost of tacos = $1.5
