Question:

Andrea is given AABC and told that a² + b2 = c2. She draws right triangle RTS with legs

measuring a and b and hypotenuse measuring 2. Which best describes what Andred should

do in order to prove that AABC is a right triangle?

1) Show that a² + b2 = c2, so ZA ZR. This means AABC = ARTS, and so ZC is a right angle

and so AABC is a right triangle.

2) Show that c = 2, so AABC = ARTS and so ZC = ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

AABC is a right triangle.

3) Show that c = x, so AABC = ARTS and so ZCZ ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

ABC is a right triangle.

O

4) Show that c = r, so AABC ~ ARTS and so ZC ~ ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

AABC is a right triangle.

Answer:

The correct option is;

2) Andrea should show that c = 2 so ∡ABC = ∡RTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle hence ΔABC is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have that the given sides of the triangle are a, b and c and therefore, whereby Andrea is able to draw the two sides of the right triangle with sides = a and b and the third, hypotenuse, side as equal to 2, we know that since the length of the hypotenuse = 2, then we have;

2² = a² + b²

However, we are told that c² = a² + b²

Therefore, c = 2 hence, Andrea should show that c = 2 so ΔABC = ΔRTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle since it is the angle opposite to the hypotenuse c and therefore, ΔABC is a right triangle.

Si se compran tres chicles y un tamarindo y se paga $15 y se compran dos chicles y tres tamarindos y se paga $31 ¿que cuesta cad
lorasvet [3.4K]

Responder:

9

Explicación paso a paso:

Dejar :

Mascar chicle = x

Tamarindo = y

3x + y = 15 - - - (1)

2x + 3y = 31 - - - (2)

De 1)

y = 15 - 3x - - (3)

Por lo tanto,

2x + 3 (15 - 3x) = 31

2x + 45 - 9x = 31

-7x = 31 - 45

-7x = - 14

x = 2

De (3):

y = 15 - 3 (2)

y = 15 - 6

y = 9
