Which set of numbers could represent the side lengths of a right triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:  D) 8, 15, 17

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In order for three side lengths to represent a right triangle, they must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²    where c is the largest side.

A) 2² + 3² = 4²

   4  +  9   = 16      

       13      = 16      FALSE

B) 4² + 5² = 6²

  16  + 25 = 36

       41     = 36       FALSE

C) 6² + 9² = 12²

   36 + 81 = 144

       117    = 144       FALSE

D) 8² + 15² = 17²

  64 + 225 = 289

       289    = 289     TRUE!

The slope of the line in the function is 1

<h3>Slope of Line</h3>

The slope of a line is defined as the change in y-coordinate with respect to the change in x-coordinate of that line. The net change in y coordinate is Δy, while the net change in the x coordinate is Δx. So the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate can be written as,

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Taking two points;

  • P = (5, 0)
  • Q = (3, -2)

Substituting the values into the formula;

m = -2 - 0 / 3 - 5

m = -2 / - 2

m = 1

The slope is calculated as 1

A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 millimeters, 14 millimeters, and 15 millimeters. Is it a right triangle
Harman [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of a right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

If the length of sides of the given triangle are 7mm, 14mm and 15mm.

(15)² = (7)² + (14)²

225 = 49 + 196

225 = 245

False

Therefore, the given triangle is not a right triangle.

45 minus 4.5. Show work
Dmitrij [34]
Let's do subtraction by first starting with the ones place and then the tenths place of the subtrahend.
45-4=41; 44, 43, 42, 41
41-.5= 40.5; 40.9, 40.8, 40.7, 40.6, 40.5
45-4.5=40.5
We can check by using addition.
40.5+4.5=
44+1=
45

The​ half-life of radium is 1690 years. If 20 grams are present​ now, how much will be present in 250 ​years?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

  18.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier of the initial quantity is ...

  (1/2)^(t/1690)

so, for t=250, this becomes ...

  (1/2)^(250/1690) ≈ 0.902545

Then the quantity remaining of the initial 20 g is ...

  (20 g)(0.902545) ≈ 18.05 g
