Answer:
NO it isnt.
Step-by-step explanation:
Go right of the decimal and throught the different place values. Since the number just right of the decimal is the highest place value, whichever number is greater, holds the greater value.
It would be bigger than 1/2 inches because they are simply asking for the difference which is 5 1/2-5= 1/2.
Answer:
An ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a triangle ABC with vertices at A(-5, 4), B(4, 1), and C(1, -8), to know the type of triangle this is, we need to find the three sides of the triangles by taking the distance between the points.
Distance between two points is expressed as:
D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
For side |AB|:
A(-5, 4) and B(4, 1)
|AB| = √(4-(-5))²+(1-4)²
|AB| = √9²+3²
|AB| = √90
For side |BC|
B(4, 1), and C(1, -8)
|BC| =√(1-4)²+(-8-1)²
|BC| = √3²+9²
|BC| = √90
For side |AC|:
A(-5, 4) and C(1, -8).
|AC| = √(1-(-5))²+(-8-4)²
|AC| = √6²+12²
|AC| = √36+144
|AC| = √180
Based on the distances, it is seen that side AB and BC are equal which shows that two sides of the triangle are equal. A triangle that has two of its sides to be equal is known as an ISOSCELES TRIANGLE. Therefore the term that correctly describes the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
