PTG has side lengths of 12 cm, 25 cm, and 19 cm. Which type of triangle is PTG?

1 answer:

3 0

No two sides are equal, so the triangle is not an isosceles triangle.

We could calculate at least two angles of the triangle to determine whether it is a right, acute, or obtuse. We need to use the cosine law:

a^2 + b^2 - 2ab * cos C = c^2
cos C = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) / 2ab
C = arccos((a^2 + b^2 - c^2) / 2ab)

Solving for two angles P and T,

P = arccos((12^2 + 19^2 - 25^2)/(2*12*19))
P = 105.3 degrees.

Since one angle is an obtuse angle, we dont need to compute for the other angle. We can conclude then that the triangle is an obtuse angle.

How many solutions does the pair of equations y = 0 and y = -5 have?

Crank

Answer: None

Step-by-step explanation:

y=0 and y=-5 don't have any solutions. When you ask if a pair of equations have a solution, that means there is an intersection of the equations. The 2 equations will meet somewhere, and that is the solution. To find the solution, you set the equations equal to each other.

0≠-5

It is obvious that 0 and -5 are not equal to each other. Therefore, there is no solution. Also, y=0 and y=-5 are horizontal lines that are parallel to each other. They will never meet, which means there will be no intersection. No intersection means no solutions.
