A set of 3 nonzero whole numbers say (a,b,c) that form the sides of a right triangle and follow the pythagorous theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\$

are called a Pythagorean Triple

The example of Pythagorean Triplet are

(3,4,5), (5,12,13) ,(8,15,17), etc.

Hence

A set of 3 nonzero whole numbers that form the sides of a right triangle are called a Pythagorean Triple.

Find the value of c that completes the square

Kitty [74]

Answer:

c = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 16x + c

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 16x

x² + 2(- 8)x + 64

= (x - 8)²

Thus

x² - 16x + 64 = (x - 8)² ← a perfect square

with c = 64

Is line 1 (1,5) (3,-2) and like 2 (-3,2) (4,0) perpendicular of parallel?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Slope Formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So remember that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other and parallel lines have the same slope. To find out if they are either parallel or perpendicular, plug the pair of points into the slope formula to find their slopes:

$\textsf{Line 1}\\\\\frac{5-(-2)}{1-3}=-\frac{7}{2}\\\\\textsf{Line 2}\\\\\frac{0-2}{4-(-3)}=-\frac{2}{7}$
