To find out whether or not a triangle is a right triangle, you have to figure out whether or not it satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem says that the sum of the squares of the side lengths, represented by variables a and b, must equal the square of the hypotenuse, represented by c. 

a² + b² = c²

20² + 48² = 52²

400 + 2304 = 2704

2704 = 2704

When we plug in the side lengths and simplify the Theorem, it results in a true statement, so we can conclude that yes, the triangle is a right triangle.

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5,5) and a directix of y = -1
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D

Work out the value of A
Mkey [24]

Answer:

that is really so difficult ? what do you not understand here ? please let me know, if you need any further explanations.

you know what the perimeter is ? if it's the circumference, the way around the object. in other words, the distance you have to walk, when going along all sidelines of the object.

so the perimeter is the sum of of all side lengths.

56 = x - 1 + 3x + 3x + 1 = 7x

x = 8

that gives us the side lengths :

x - 1 = 7 cm

3x = 21 cm

3x + 1 = 22 cm

the formula for the area of a triangle

A = baseline × height / 2

the advantage of a right-angled triangle in this regard is that the sides enclosing the 90 degree angle are already "acting" as baseline and the height (standing on the baseline with a 90 degree angle).

so, we can simply say here, the 3x side is the baseline, and the x-1 side is also the height.

therefore,

A = 21×7/2 = 147/2 = 73.5 cm²
