Using the Pythagorean theorem which of the triangles shown are right triangles?

Answer:

Triangle a

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sums of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; algebraically,

a²+b² = c²

For triangle a, we have

2²+3² = (√13)²

4+9 = 13

This is a true statement, so triangle A is a right triangle.

For triangle B,

2²+(3√2)² = 5²

4+9(2) = 25

4+18 = 25

This is not a true statement, so triangle B is not a right triangle.

For triangle C,

2²+(3√3)² = (√43)²

4+9(3) = 43

4+27 = 43

This is not a true statement, so triangle C is not a right triangle.

The triangle (a) is the right angled triangle. Option (a) is correct.

Further explanation:

The Pythagorean formula can be expressed as, \boxed{{H^2} = {P^2} + {B^2}}.

Here, H represents the hypotenuse, P represents the perpendicular and B represents the base.

Given:

Explanation:

In triangle (a),

The hypotenuse is \sqrt {13}

The base is 3.

The perpendicular is 2.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle (a),

\begin{aligned}{2^2} + {3^2} &= {\left( {\sqrt {13} } \right)^2}\\4 + 9 &= 13\\13 &=13\\\end{aligned}

Triangle (a) is right angled.

In triangle (b),

The hypotenuse is 5.

The base is 3\sqrt 2.

The perpendicular is 2.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle (b),

\begin{aligned}{2^2} + {\left( {3\sqrt 2 } \right)^2} &= {5^2}\\4 + 18&= 25\\ 22 &\ne 25\\\end{aligned}

Triangle (b) is not right angled.

In triangle (c),

The hypotenuse is \sqrt {43}.

The base is 3\sqrt 3.

The perpendicular is 2.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle (b),

\begin{aligned}{2^2} + {\left( {3\sqrt 3 } \right)^2}&= {\left( {\sqrt {43} } \right)^2}\\4 + 27 &= 43\\31 &\ne 43\\\end{aligned}

Triangle (c) is not right angled.

The triangle (a) is the right angled triangle. Option (a) is correct.

Vilka [71]

Answer  ↣ 12 gallons per minute

Step-by-step explanation ↣ Ok I'm gonna use ratios because I can't draw a graph here.

Ok so if the garden hose supplies 36 gallons of water in 3 minutes, then the ratio is 36:3 because every 3 minutes the garden hose "sprays" 36 gallons.

To simplify this ratio, you need find the amount of water the garden hose supplies in 1 minute.

Well to get from 3 to 1, you have to divide by 3.

Do the same thing to 36. 36/3 equals 12.

So the final ratio is 12:1

This is the unit rate. The unit rate is when one variable is 1 unit (most of the time it is speed).

You can multiply 1 by any number and multiply 12 by the same number.

Here are some ratios...

m=minutes

g=gallons

1m:12g

2m:24g

3m:36g

4m:48g

5m:60g

Hope this helped!

A paddle boat company charges $15 rental fee plus $12.75 per hour for rentals. If Jimmy has $45, which inequality can he use to
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

$15 rental fee added to the 12.75 per hour. you have to multiply the 12.75 times the amount of hours rented, which we don't know yet so that's variable x. then he has only $45 to spend so it has to be equal to or less than that.
