1
is the right answer.
because rise is 1 and run is 1 = 1/1 = 1
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Process
To answer if they are right triangles or not use the Pythagorean theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the legs.
a) 25² = 20² + 7²
625 = 400 + 49
625 ≠ 449 It is not a right triangle
b) 26² = 24² + 10²
676 = 576 + 100
676 = 676 it is a right triangle
c) 13² = 8² + (√10)²
169 = 64 + 10
169 ≠ 74 it is not a right triangle
d) 52² = 48² + 20²
2704 = 2304 + 400
2704 = 2704 it is a right triangle
You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.
