Which of the following sets of lengths can Sean use to make a right triangle?

If we know your Pythagorean Triples we can immediately recognize that the last choice is a right triangle:

8² + 15² = 17²

If you don't know your Pythagorean Triples, it's worth learning the first few off the list because teachers use them in problems all the time.  But for now let's just exhaustively check the Pythagorean Theorem for each triangle.  We don't have to multiply everything out; we can analyze the common factors.  If two have a common factor that the third one doesn't have, there's no way for the Pythagorean Theorem to add up.

Clearly 5²+15² is a multiple of 5 but 18² isn't so that one isn't a right triangle.

6²+12² is a multiple of 6, 16² isn't a multiple of 6, not an RT.

15²-5² is a multiple of 5, 13² isn't, no joy.

8²+15² = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17² -- that's a real right triangle, a valid Pythagorean Triple.

Grandpa schmidt is 75 years old. this is 9 years less than seven times the age of junior schmidt. how old is junior
Ad libitum [116K]
Grandpa's age is 75 years
Seven times the age of junior = age of grandpa + 9 jears = 75 + 9 = 84 years
Hence, the age of junior will be 84 / 7 = 12 years. (Since 84 is seven times his age, you have to devide by seven).
--> Junior is 12 years old.

1) After a dilation, (-60, 15) is the image of (-12, 3). What are the coordinates of the image of (-2,-7) after the same dilatio
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

a) k = 5; (-10, -35)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Co-ordinates:

Pre-Image = (-12,3)

After dilation

Image = (-60,15)

The dilation about the origin can be given as :

Pre-Image(x,y)\rightarrow Image(kx,ky)

where k represents the scalar factor.

We can find value of k for the given co-ordinates by finding the ratio of x or y co-ordinates of the image and pre-image.

k=\frac{Image}{Pre-Image}

For the given co-ordinates.

Pre-Image = (-12,3)

Image = (-60,15)

The value of k=\frac{-60}{-12}=5

or k=\frac{15}{3}=5

As we get k=5 for both ratios i.e of x and  y co-ordinates, so we can say the image has been dilated by a factor of 5 about the origin.

To find the image of (-2,-7), after same dilation, we will multiply the co-ordinates with the scalar factor.

Pre-Image(-2,-7)\rightarrow Image((-2\times5),(-7\times 5))

Pre-Image(-2,-7)\rightarrow Image(-10,-35) (Answer)
