I would go with D. 2x^2+3/2x-5
Common Pythagorean triples include
(3, 4, 5)
(5, 12, 13)
(7, 24, 25)
(9, 40, 41)
The only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence is (3, 4, 5), so any arithmetic sequence that is a Pythagorean triple must be a multiple of that, such as (9, 12, 15) or (15, 20, 25).
The arithmetic sequences of selections B and D are unrelated to the (3, 4, 5) triple, so cannot be Pythagorean triples. For selection A, we know that 9² + 11² = 81 + 121 = 202 > 14², so that is not a right triangle.
The appropriate selection is ...
C. 7, 24, 25
Answer:
44.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
In the right triangle ACD
Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
Solve for AC


step 2
In the right triangle ABE
Find the length side AB
---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)
solve for AB


step 3
How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?
Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC
so

The initial measure is:
m1 = 28 ft
The real measure must be:
m2 = 14 ft
The correct procedure to determine the scale factor is:

Dividing both numbers between 14 we have:

Answer:
Zelie should have divided both numbers by 14.
