Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

4.2 units

most likely answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

(1, 2) and (4, 5)

To find the distance between two points, we use the distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2 }

Let's plug in what we know.

d = \sqrt{(4 - 1)^2 + (5 - 2)^2 }

Evaluate the parentheses.

d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (3)^2 }

Evaluate the exponents.

d = \sqrt{(9) + (9) }

Add.

d=\sqrt{18}

Evaluate the radical.

d = 4.24

Round to the nearest tenth.

d = 4.2 units

*note: The answer choice is 4.6. I'm not sure if that is a typo on someone's end, but the distance between these two points is exactly 4.24264068712 units.

Hope this helps!

Suppose a triangle has sides a,b, and c with side c the longest side, and that a^2+b^2&gt;c^2. Let theta be the measure of the a
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer :

<u>A the triangle is not a right </u><u>triangle</u>

<u>D </u><u>costheta</u><u> </u><u><0</u>

The law of cosines says:

a²=b²+c²−2bccos(θ)

Rewriting:

2bccos(θ)=b²+c²−a²<0

So cos(θ)<0cos(θ)<0 since 2bc>02bc>0. Since 0<θ<π0<θ<π in any triangle,

π/2<θ<π

So:

1. θ is not an acute angle.

2 The triangle is not a right triangle. In a right triangle, one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are then less than 90 degrees. This triangle has an angle greater than 90 degrees.

3. cos(θ)<0 is true.

4. cos(θ)>0 is false -3 says cos(θ) is negative; a number can't be both positive and negative.

Need help with this please
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The third side is sqrt(77)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + b^2 = 9^2

4+ b^2 = 81

Subtract 4 from each side

b^2 = 81-4

b^2=77

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(77)

b = sqrt(77)

The third side is sqrt(77)
