On the packaging for a triangular sail, the edge measurements for the sail are listed as 7 ft × 15 ft × 17 ft. Without unfurling

the sail, you want to determine if the sail forms a right triangle, an acute triangle, or an obtuse triangle. What type of triangle is being depicted from the measurements?

Answer:

Shape of Triangular sail is Obtuse Angled Triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is obtuse since the sum of the squares of 2 sides are greater than the square of the third side. (Converse Pythagorean theorem) Hope this helps!

Given: Length of sides of triangular sail = 7 ft , 15 ft , 7 ft

To find: Shape of Sail .i.e., shape of triangle

We use a result which states that

if a , b  , c are sides of triangle where c is greater then a & b.

now, if c² < a² + b² then triangle is Acute angled

if c² = a² + b² then triangle is Right angled

if c² > a² + b² then triangle is Obtuse angled

here a = 7 , b = 7 &  c = 15

c² = 15² = 225

a² + b² = 7² + 7² = 49 + 49 = 98

since, c² > a² + b²

⇒ Triangle must be Obtuse Angled.

Therefore, Shape of Triangular sail is Obtuse Angled Triangle.

The diagram shows a rectangle. 5cm 1cm four of these rectangles are put together as shown, calculate the shaded area
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

15 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 1 + 1 = 7

7 × 5 = 35

5 × 1 = 5

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20

35 - 20 = 15

The ratio of the one leg of
Llana [10]

The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.

<h3>What is a Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.

Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have

x/y = 8/7

   y = 7x/8

Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be

 10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²

110.25 = x² + 49x²/64

110.25 = 113x²/64

      x² = 62.44

        x = 7.902

        x ≅ 7.9 feet

Then the other leg will be

y = 7.9 x 7 / 8

y = 6.91

More about the Pythagoras theorem link is given below.
