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.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

12,000(1+\frac{4.5}{100}*5)=12,000(1.225)=\$14,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is where interest is only accumulated on the principle, so at 4.5% for 5 years, 22.5% is added to the principal.

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $67,000 per year. Hourly emp
nadezda [96]
First, we must calculate the weekly pay of an employee that is paid a fixed amount. Given that there are 52 weeks in a year, the weekly pay for a regularly paid employee is: 67,000 / 52 = $1,288.46 Now, we calculate the number of hours an employee that is paid hourly works per week: 0 + 10 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 6.5 + 4.5 = 44 So this employee is paid: 25 x 40 + 37.5 x 4 = $1,150 Therefore, it is recommended that a new employee goes for the salaried pay since the weekly earnings are greater in this option. The answer is C<span>.</span>

Formula for the area of a quarter circle: A = (pi x r^2) / 4

A = (pi x 2^2) / 4

A = (pi x 4) / 4

A = 4pi / 4

A = 1pi = 3.14 square miles

Hope this helps! :)
