Answer:
Pythagoras’ theorem is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.
The formula is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are sides
c is the hypothesis
<u>Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches. Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>
A leg is another way of saying a side.
5^2 + 7^2 = c^2
25 + 49 = x^2
sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis
<u>Ex: A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet. Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>
9^2 + b^2 = 25^2
81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)
b = sqrt(554)

Answer:
the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)
Step-by-step explanation:
The line goes through: (-1, -2) and ( 2, 1)
Then the slope can be calculated as:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
in our case:
slope = (1 - -2) / (2 - -1) = (1 + 2) / (2 + 1) = 3 / 3 = 1
Therefore, the slope is POSITIVE (answer A)
I think the answer will be 17 square that what my friend said.
Answer:
neither
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the first line: (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1) = (3-(-5)/-1 = 8/-1 = -8
Slope of the second line: (2-3)/4-(-4) = -1/8
They are neither parallel nor perpendicular. In fact the two lines have different slope so they can’t be parallel. In addition the product of their slope is not -1, so they can’t be perpendicular,
Answer:the answer would be 7.38
