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.

Compared to the tone of Passage 2, the tone of
harkovskaia [24]

The correct answer is option e) tempered.

Compared to the tone of Passage 2, the tone of Passage 1 is more tempered.

Passage 1 discusses recycling as a socio-cultural phenomena, whereas passage 2 is a recycling critique.

Therefore, the tone of passage 1 is a little more upbeat than that of passage 2.

As a result, we may determine that tempered is the most appropriate tone for this passage 1.

what is the solution to this system of equations (Use the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by 3.) 2x+y=20 6x
user100 [1]

Answer:

(7, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first eq. by 3 to get 6x - 3y = 60

now do

6x + 3y = 60

- 6x - 5y = 12

--------------------

8y = 48

solve for y: y = 6

with this y value, plug it in to the first equation (easier to solve) and get 2x + 6 = 20

solve for x and get x = 7

so ans is (7, 6)

Estimate the square root of 83 to the nearest whole number.
sleet_krkn [62]
Nothing can go into 83 so of you square root it you will get a decimal so the nearest whole number You would get is 9 because 9*9=81 and that's the closet that you will get to 83
