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.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1100 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The faces are all rectangles (area = length x width)

Area of bottom:  20 x 10 = 200

Area of front: 20 x 15 = 300

Area of back (same as front) = 300

Area of right side: 10 x 15 = 150

Area of left side (same as right side) = 150

Total of all the sides: 1100

solve for x. if anyone could explain how exactly I solve this question, it would be greatly appreciated!!! thank you
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:x=29

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to add all the like terms together so in this case 2x and x

29,30,20,8

3x=87

Divide 3 by both sides

X=29
