You can solve by using Pythagoras theorem.
Let the longest side be c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If this holds, it is a right angle.

But, 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 is not equal to 5.5^2.

I don't know.
Let's find out.
If it IS a right triangle, then . . .

    (square of the shortest side)
plus
    (square of the medium side)
adds up to
    
(square of the longest side).

Shortest side = 3.5 .  Its square is  (3.5)²  =  12.25
Medium side = 4.5 .  Its square is  (4.5)²   =  20.25
(square of the shortest side) + (square of the medium side) =  32.5 .

Longest side = 5.5 .  Its square is  (5.5)²   =  30.25 .

  30.25  is NOT equal to  32.5 .

  So this is NOT a right triangle.

Emery bought 3 cans of beans that had a total weight of 2.4 pounds. If each can of beans weighed the same amount, which model co
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

  • y=0.8x
  • See Explanation for others

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 cans of beans had a total weight of 2.4 Pounds

Therefore:

  • 1 can of beans = (2.4 ÷ 3) =0.8 Pounds

The following applies from the options.

  • y=0.8x where y is the weight and x is the number of cans.
  • A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.

Using y=0.8x

When x=5, y=0.8 X 5=4

When x=15, y=0.8 X 15=12

When x=20, y=0.8 X 20=16

\left|\begin{array}{c|c}\text{Number of Cans,x}&\text{Total Weight (in Pounds),y}\\-------&--------\\5&4\\15&12\\20&16\end{array}\right|

  • On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12). This can be clearly seen from the table above as (5,4) and (15,12) are points on the line.
