If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs

Use the distance formula, show that the points (4,0), (2,1), and (-1,-5) form the vertices of a right triangle

mario62 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

$A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}$

If a ≤ b < c are the sides of the right triangle, then

a² + b² = c²

$\sqrt5$

used $(\sqrt{a})^2=a$ for a ≥ 0.

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$ therefore ΔABC is a right triangle.
