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 two triangles are similar. What is the value of x?

Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write ratios to help us solve

4x 12 +3

---------- = ------------

3x+1 12

Using cross products

4x*12 = (3x+1) * (15)

48x = 45x +15

Subtract 45x from each side

3x =15

Divide by 3

3x/3 =15/3

x=5
