Answer:

4.80 units (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

$distance \: formula \\ = \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}+ (y1 - y2)^{2} }$

Hence, length of AB

= √(11+1)^2 - (8+3)^2

= √ 12^2 -11^2

= √ 23

= 4.80 units (3 s.f.)

Neil wants to join three pieces of metal to form a right triangle. which of the following lengths could be used? please use step

vichka [17]

Answer: G. 12.5, 7.5, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the lengths of metal that could be used to form the tight angle triangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

The hypotenuse is the longest side while the opposite and adjacent sides are the shorter side. Therefore,

8² = 4² + 4²

64 = 16 + 16 = 32

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

12.5² = 7.5² + 10²

156.25 = 56.25 + 100 = 156.25

A right angle triangle can be formed because they are equal.

23² = 11² + 9²

529 = 121 + 81 = 202

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

96² = 12.5² + 6²

9216 = 156.25 + 36 = 192.25

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.
