Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

See below


Discussion:

This picture appears to be an application of the Pythagorean theorem. That is, the sum of the squares of the legs equals  the square of he hypotenuse. Let's check this out.

Does

(leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2   = (hypotenuse)^2

5^2       + 5^2          = (5 sqrt(2)) ^ 2   ?         => number from diagram

25          + 25           =  5 * 5 * (sqrt(2) ) ^ 2   =>   as (sqrt(2)) ^ 2 = 2

25 + 25 = 5*5*2 = 50 =>

50 = 50.      

Indeed.


Note: this is an  isosceles triangle as the base angles equal 45 degrees.  It illustrates that in an isosceles triangle the length of the hypotenuse is the length of either leg times the sqrt(2)



Thank you,

MrB

Lines that intersect are intersecting or crossing lines.
Perpendicular lines are lines that cross at a 90 degree angle.
Skew lines are lines that are non-coplanar and don’t intersect.

Who's is the solution set of the compound inequality 3.5x-10&gt;-3 and 8x-9&lt;39
velikii [3]
3.5x-10>-3  add 10 to both sides

3.5x>7  divide both sides by 3.5

x>2

... now for the other inequality:

8x-9<39  add 9 to both sides

8x<48  divide both sides by 3

x<6

So we have x>2 and x<6, so the compound inequality is:

2<x<6  and this means that the solution set is:

x=(2, 6)
