Answer:

The answer is NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, any <em>right triangle</em> has to obey the Pythagorean Theorem Formula.

This theorem says:

If a, b are two sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, the formule is:

a^2+b^2=c^2

There are few combinations of whole numbers that satisfy the equation. They are called "Pythagorean Triples". I have attached an image that it shows these combinations. You can choose whatever combination and its multiples satisfy the equation as well.

Finally, if you see the image, there are not combination where the hypotenuse is 23.

No, u cant

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.....pythagorean theorem used on only right triangles...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = 23^2
a^2 + b^2 = 529...so u would have to find 2 square numbers that add up to 529. There aren't any.

The length of a rectangle is 5 in longer than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 in , find its area.
shtirl [24]
Area(A)= lw
perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 34in
length(l)= w+5 
width(w)= w

1/2 P= 17= w+l
17= w+(w+5)
17= 2w+5
2w=12
w=6 in

l= w+5
l= 6+5
l=11 in


A= lw= (11)(6)= 66in²

Answer:
Area of rectangle is 66 in².

This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive an
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a function of x,

f(x) = 2sin x + 2cos x,0\leq x\leq 2\pi

Let us find first and second derivative for f(x)

f'(x) = 2cosx -2sinx\\f"(x) = -2sinx-2cosx

When f'(x) =0 we have tanx = 1 and hence

a) f'(x) >0 for I and III quadrant

Hence increasing in (0, \pi/2) U(\pi,3\pi/2)\\

and decreasing in (\pi/2, \pi)U(3\pi/2,2\pi)

x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}

f"(\pi/4)

Hence f has a maxima at x = pi/4 and minima at x = 3pi/4

b) Maximum value = 2sin \pi/4+2cos \pi/4 =2\sqrt{2}

Minimum value = 2sin 3\pi/4+2cos 3\pi/4 =-2\sqrt{2}

c)

f"(x) =0 gives tanx =-1

x= 3\pi/4, 7\pi/4

are points of inflection.

concave up in (3pi/4,7pi/4)

and concave down in (0,3pi/4)U(7pi/4,2pi)
