Which best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 5 cm, 13 cm, and 12 cm is a right triangle?

1 answer:

3 0

The correct answer is"the triangle is a right triangle because 205+144=169"

work shown below
given the side lengh 5cm,13cm,12cm,we can confirm it if it is a right triangle by applying the pythagrorean theorem.

13^2=5^2+12^2
169=25+144
169=169

so this confirms that it is a right triangle

Solve for s. 1/2 s = 7/2. A 1/7. B 2/7. C 3. D 7.

fenix001 [56]

Simple equation and only requires one step to solve. Remember, a number and a variable juxtaposed means multiplications.

$\frac{1}{2} s = \frac{7}{2} \\ \\\frac{(\frac{1}{2}s)}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\\\s = \frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\\\s = \frac{7}{2} * \frac{2}{1} \\ \\\\s = 7$

One step? I know. It seems more because I was slowing down the calculations for you so could understand everything happening. For someone who can do this in their sleep it would, for them, take one step.

1/2(x-6.5) = 3.16 what is x?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

x =12.82

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(x-6.5) = 3.16

Multiply each side by 2

1/2(x-6.5) *2 = 3.16 *2

(x-6.5) = 6.32

Add 6.5 to each side

(x-6.5+6.5) = 6.32+ 6.5

x =12.82

Calculate the radius of a circle if it’s circumference is 37.7cm

Eddi Din [679]

Circumference = 2 $\pi$ r

Solve for r.

2 $\pi$ r = 37.7
Divide both sides by 2.

$\pi$ r = 18.85
Divide both sides by $\pi$ .

r = 6

The radius is 6 cm.
