Prove that triangle with side lengths of x^2-1, 2x, x^2+1 is a right triangle.

Mathematics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.

Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.

(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2

Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2

Root both sides
x^2+1=c

Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!

I need help with number 8,please.

Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed. 
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.  
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15

What's the surface area of this figure? (figure shown on picture)
KIM [24]

Answer:

800 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s find the area of all the shapes in the net.

10 · 10 = 100

100 · 2 = <u>200</u>

15 · 10 = 150

150 · 4 = <u>600</u>

200 + 600 = <u><em>800</em></u>
