The coordinates of triangle GBW are G (20, 10) B (-35, 20), and W (5,-10). Is GBW a right triangle? Justify your answer.

Artist 52 [7]

We know from Pythagoras' Theorem, a right angle triangle can be identified by the relationship:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Thus, we know if the side lengths of the triangle in question abide by this relation, the triangle is right.

First, we must find the greatest side length.

We know, using the distance formula.

$GB= \sqrt{(-35-20)^2 +(20-10)^2} =\sqrt{3125}$
$BW= \sqrt{(5+35)^2 +(-10-20)^2} =\sqrt{2500}$
$WG= \sqrt{(20-5)^2 +(10+10)^2} =\sqrt{625}$

From this, we know that:
$GB\ \textgreater \ BW\ \textgreater \ WG$
Therefore, GB would be the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Now we substitute the values for the two shorter lengths and the greater length into the pythagorean theorem:
$a^2+b^2=2500+625=3125$
$c^2=3125$
$\therefore LHS=RHS$
Therefore, this triangle is a right angled triangle

Mason takes his pulse. He counts 48 beats in 2/3 minute. Mason goes on a bike ride and takes his pulse again. Now he counts 81 b

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Therefore, beats per minute did increase for 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

48: 2/3=x:1

48=2/3 × x

x=3/2×48

x=72

81:3/4=x:1

81=x×3/4

x=4/3×81

x=108

Therefore, beats per minute did increase for 36.

Answer:In a couple with a newborn baby at home, to take turns on feeding the baby at night.

Step-by-step explanation: Here both parents are willing to sacrifice a few minutes, if not hours of sleeptime with the promise to be allowed to rest the next time the baby needs to be fed. There is no certainty in how long it will take for the baby to go back to sleep or how long it will be for the baby to be awake again, but the chances are the same for both parents, so they both agree to take care of the child one at a time with the promise to be in turns, this is an example of contractarian logic.

How would I solve this problem-6.3n=-8.19

Gre4nikov [31]

-6,3n=-8,19, so n=8,19/6,3,
hence n=1,3.
