The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then  c^{2} = a^{2}  +  b^{2} 
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
 65^{2} =16 ^{2} +  63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.

What set of refections would carry trapezoid ABCD onto itself?
BaLLatris [955]
Hello!

Trapezoid ABCD is shown. A is at negative 5, 1. B is at negative 4, 3. C is at negative 2, 3. D is at negative 1, 1.
A) x-axis, y=x, y-axis, x-axis
b) x-axis, y-axis, x-axis
c) y=x, x-axis, x-axis 
d) y-axis, x-axis, y-axis, x-axis
The best answer is C180 rotation wud take that point to 4th quadrant
reflection in x-axis takes that to 1st quadrant
<span>reflection in y-axis brings it back to 2nd quadrant again. So, the sequence of transformations will  bring A back to where it started

Hope this Helps! :)

Find the x intercept and y intercept for 6x-2y=18 . provide an explanation and show steps
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The slope intercept form would be y = 3x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this slone in slope intercept form, all we need to do is solve for y.

6x - 2y = 18 ---> Subtract 6x from both sides

-2y = -6x + 18 ----> Divide both sides by -2

y = 3x - 9
