Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square

Test your PEMDAS 6+8/2(2+2) This one is tricky

Ivanshal [37]

Do parenthesis first (4)
Then, do the division 8/2 = 4
Then multiply 4 and 4 which will be 16
Add 6 to 16 and you get 22

Given circle and circle with radii of 6cm and 4cm respectively.

noname [10]

Solution :

Given that :

The radius of circle A = 6 cm

The radius of circle C = 4 cm

In circle A

$\angle EAF = \theta = 140^\circ$

The length of arc EF = $2 \pi r \times \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}$

$=2 \times 3.14 \times 6 \times \frac{140^\circ}{360^\circ}$

= 14.653 cm

In circle C

$\angle GCH = \theta = 140^\circ$

The length of arc GH = $2 \pi r \times \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}$

$=2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times \frac{140^\circ}{360^\circ}$

= 9.769 cm

Therefore,

The length of EF is 14.653 cm

The length of GH is 9.769 cm

The length of EF is 1.5 times the length of GH

i.e. 14.653 = 1.5 x 9.769

14.653 = 14.653

Hence proved.

Answer: $1\dfrac13$ cups of pineapple juice .

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of direct proportion between x and y:

$\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}$

As per given,

Let x = quantity of pineapple juice and y = quantity of orange juice.

$x_1=\dfrac13\$ , $y_1=\dfrac34$ , $y_2=3$

Put these values in an equation we get

$\dfrac{\dfrac13}{\dfrac34}=\dfrac{x_2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{x_2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=3\times\dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=1\dfrac13$

Hence, he needs $1\dfrac13$ cups of pineapple juice .
