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

Consider the line 7x+9y=5

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9

The slope of the perpendicular line will be:

$\frac{-1}{\frac{-7}{9}}=\frac{9}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

Here,

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the equation

$7x+9y=5$

simplifying to write in the lope-intercept form

$y=-\frac{7}{9}x+\frac{5}{9}$

Thus, the slope of the line is: -7/9

The slope of a line parallel to the line:

We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9

We know that the parallel lines have the same slope.

Thus, the slope of a line parallel to this line will be: -7/9

The slope of a line perpendicular to the line:

We have already determined that the slope of the line is: -7/9

As we know that the slope of the perpendicular line is basically the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line.

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be:

$\frac{-1}{\frac{-7}{9}}=\frac{9}{7}$

A rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter in mixed number?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the rectangular sand box has a length of 5 1/3 feet and a width of 3 3/4 feet.

The perimeter would be calculated as:

= 2(length + width)

= 2( 5 1/3 + 3 3/4)

= 2( 5 4/12 + 3 9/12)

= 2( 8 13/12)

= 2 (9 1/12)

= 2 × 9 1/12

= 2 × 109/12

= 218/12

= 18 2/12

= 18 1/6 feet

Obi's age is twice oba's age 4 years ago obi was three times as old as oba. find their ages

frutty [35]

Answer:

Obi's age is 18 and Oba's age is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Obi's age be x and Oba's age be y

Condition 1:

x = 2y -----------(1)

Condition 2:

(x-4) = 3(y-4)

=> x -4 = 3y-12

=> x - 3y = -9 -----(2)

Putting eq (1) in (2)

2y - 3y = -9

=> -y = -9

=> y = 9

Now,

x = 2y

=> x = 2(9)

=> x= 18
