Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only information you really need in order to determine if this is a right triangle are the slopes of segments AB and BC.  If the slopes of these segments are opposite reciprocals of one another, then the lines are perpendicular, and the angle is a right angle (making the triangle a right triangle!).  Point A has coordinates (-5, 5), B(-3, 2), C(-6, 0).

The slope of segment AB:

m=\frac{2-5}{-3-(-5)}=-\frac{3}{2}

The slope of segment BC:

m=\frac{0-2}{-6-(-3)}=\frac{2}{3}

As you can see, the slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another so angle ABC is a right angle, and triangle ABC is a right triangle.  Choice C is the one you want.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  • Both can jump 38 inches
  • Travis's statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 feet is 36 inches. 36+2=38 inches. Simon can jump 38 inches. That's the same distance Simon can jump. Therefore, Travis can only jump as far as Simon, <em>not farther.</em>

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A: CxB= Total

A: (4x19)x5+25=$405

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find the total of all of the 4 bags. Witch would be 4x19=76. Then you would multiply that by shipping cost 76x5=380. Lastly you would add the $25 380+$25= 405. Think that is right. Hope this helps!
