What is the sign of the product of two numbers with opposite signs

Triangle ABC has sides with lengths of 11, 18, and 8 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this triangle is a right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem would work on it. According to the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , so c would always be greater than a or b. In this scenario, the greatest number here is 18, so c = 18. Since a or b don't matter if given both legs, we have the following equation that may or may not be equal: $8^2+11^2=18^2$ . We know 8 squared is 64, and 11 squared is 121, and 18 squared is 324. This means that $64+121=324$ according to the Pythagorean theorem, and since 64 + 121 = 185, and 185 does not equal 324, the Pythagorean theorem does not work and the triangle is not a right triangle.

Equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2} (x + 2)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rearrange the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
$y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2} (x + 2) \\ \\
 y - 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1 \\ \\
 y - 9 + 9 = - \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1 + 9 \ \Longleftarrow \text{add 9 to both side} \\ \\
 y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 8$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
slope of the perpendicular line
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
slope = 2

(*the slope of the perpendicular line is the <span>negative reciprocal of the slope of line)</span>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute slope into equation y = mx + c
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + c

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + c
At point (0, 4)
4 = 2(0) + c
c = 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y-intercept into the equation y = 2x + c
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 2x + 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The number of cows on a farm increased by 60. Because of better food, the amount of milk from each cow went up from 12.8 liters

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cows increased=60

Old quality of milk consumed=12.8litres

New Increase in milk consumed=15litres

Therefore the number of cows in the farm if the quality of milk is 1340litres=y

Therefore, 1cow =15litres

y cows= 1340litres
