Answer:

No, she isn't correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It may look like the triangle is a right triangle, and if so it would be that m∠KML is 90 degrees. For the moment, let us assume that it is a right triangle, that ∠KML is 90.

That would mean that Pythagorean Theorem is applicable:

KL^2 = KM^2 + ML^2,

(19)^2 = (12)^2 + (16)^2,

361 = 144 + 256,

361 = 400,

361 ≠ 400,

(This means that Pythagorean Theorem is not applicable, and KLM is not a right triangle)

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle is acute,which means under right triangle's usual size.

You need at least 90 cm to have a right triangle so no she is incorrect

Find the x-values that are solutions of the equation 5cot^2x-15=0

julia-pushkina [17]

First solve for the trig function 'cot'
$cot^2 x = \frac{15}{5} = 3$

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)
$cot x = \pm \sqrt{3}$

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

$tan x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.

$x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$

Find the slope between the two points given. Then, use the slope and Point One to write the equation of the line in Point-Slope

ratelena [41]

The equation in point slope form is given as y+3 = -5/8(x-4)

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

The formula for calculating the equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as:

y-y1= m(x-x1)

Given the coordinate point

Slope = 2-(-3)/-2-4
Slope = 5/-8

Determine the equation

y-(-3) =-5/8(x-4)

y+3 = -5/8(x-4)

Hence the equation in point slope form is given as y+3 = -5/8(x-4)
