Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythageron Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are the legs, or the 2 shorter lengths. (8 and 15)

c is the hypotenuse, or the longest length (17)

8^2+15^2=17^2

64+225=289

289=289

Since the statement is true, it is a right triangle

Hope this helps! :)

The correct answer is 6.5 x 10^2.

We have the amount for 1 second. To convert to 5 hours, we need to multiply it by 60 and 60 and 5.

0.036 x 60 x 60 x 5 = 648

Or about 6.5 x 10^2

Which radical expression is in simplified form A. 11y/sqrt3 B. sqrt6/5y C. sqrt17/sqrt4 D. sqrt25/18

Mkey [24]

Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{5y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given radical expressions are:

$A. \frac{11y}{\sqrt{3}}\\\text{It is not completely simplified ,}\\\text{since denominator is radical, we need to rationalize it first to simplify. }\\\\B.\frac{\sqrt{6}}{5y}\\\text{It is completely simplified ,}\\\text{since its denominator is not radical and 6 is not a perfect square. }\\\\C. \frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\text{It is not completely simplified ,}\\\text{since denominator is radical, we need to rationalize it first to simplify. }\\\\$ $\\\\D. \frac{\sqrt{25}}{18}=\frac{5}{18}\\\text{Hence, expression D was not completely simplified .}$
