All you have to do is the pythagorean theorem. 

6 squared + 21 squared = 23 squared

If this is true, then it is a right triangle.

 In this case, it isn't. It is not a right triangle.

To solve this problem, you can plug your values for the triangle's side lengths into the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, so when you plug in your values for this triangle, you must plug 23 for c, like so:

6² + 21² = 23²

Now you can solve; if 6² + 21² is indeed equal to 23², the triangle is a right triangle.

6² + 21² = 23²
36 + 441 = 529
477 ≠ 529

477 is not equal to 529, so this triangle is not a right triangle.

Find the common ratio for the following sequence .1, .01, .001
morpeh [17]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>common ratio</em> of a sequence is the number you multiply one term to get the next one. Here, we multiply 0.1 by 0.1 to get 0.01, and 0.01 by 0.1 to get 0.001, so our common ratio is 0.1.

What is the circumference of the circle that circumscribes a triangle with side lengths 3, 4, and 5?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

  5π, about 15.708 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-4-5 triangle is a right triangle. When a circle circumscribes a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given by ...

  C = πd

For a diameter of 5 units, the circumference is ...

  C = π(5) = 5π = 15.708 . . . units

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The (3, 4, 5) triple is one of the first Pythagorean triples you run across. It is the smallest integer triple, and the only primitive triple with values in an arithmetic sequence. You can show this is a Pythagorean triple by ...

 3² + 4² = 9 +16 = 25 = 5²

That is, these numbers satisfy the Pythagorean theorem relation for sides of a right triangle.
