Answer:Yes

Step-by-step explanation:Based on the number given, it shows that there is a hypotenuse (The longest side of a right triangle, in this case being 12), And opposite (Another part of the right triangle, that could be either 9 or 7), and the adjacent (The line next to the opposite, which could be 9 or 7)

From the given sides of 16, 14, and 21, determine what type of triangle it will form (right, acute, obtuse, none).

Answer:

It is an acute triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be much easier for you to see where I'm getting at if you draw a diagram.

Assume this triangle is labelled ABC where a = 14, b = 21, and c = 16.

cos A = (16^2 + 21^2 - 14^2)/(2(16)(21))

∠A = cos^-1(0.82291...)

∠A ≅ 34.6°

cos B = 16^2 + 14^2 - 21^2)/(2(16)(14))

∠B = cos^-1(0.024...)

∠B ≅ 56.8°

∠C = 180 - (∠A + ∠B)

∠C ≅ 56.8°

Since there is no right-angle nor is there an obtuse angle,

Therefore the triangle is an acute triangle.

If the diameter of circle a measures half of the diameter of circle b, then the area of circle b is how many times the area of c

Eduardwww [97]

Circle b:

Diameter = x

Radius = $\frac{x}{2}$

Area = $\pi r^{2} = \pi ( \frac{x}{2} )^{2} = \frac{ \pi x^{2} }{4}$

Circle a:

Diameter = $\frac{x}{2}$

Radius = $\frac{x}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{4}$

Area = $\pi r^{2} = \pi ( \frac{x}{4} )^{2} = \frac{ \pi x^{2} }{16}$

Thus,

Area of circle b to area of circle a

= $\frac{ \pi x^{2} }{4}$ ÷ $\frac{ \pi x^{2} }{16}$

= $\frac{ \pi x^{2} }{4}$ × $\frac{ 16 }{\pi x^{2}}$

= 4

Hence, the area of circle b is 4 times the area of circle a.
