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.

What is the value of x?<br><br> 2<br> 3<br> 6<br> 7
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of intersecting chords outside of the circle.

EC  \times ED = EB \times  EA \\ (x + 4)(x + 4 + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 1 + 11) \\ (x + 4)(x + 5) = (x + 1)(x + 12) \\  {x}^{2}  + (4 + 5)x + 20 =  {x}^{2}  + (1 + 12)x + 12 \\ 9x + 20 = 13x + 12 \\ 9x - 13x = 12 - 20 \\  - 4x =  - 8 \\ x =  \frac{ - 8}{ - 4}  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 2}}

10 1/2x +2

- because you would add all the side lengths, so 2x+2x+ 3 1/4x+ 13 1/4x 1. You can combine like terms it to 10 1/2x+ 2.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

<h2>18 + 45m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

9(2 + 5m) = (9)(2) + (9)(5m) = 18 + 45m
