Answer:

You can determine the type of triangle using the following facts related to the converse of the pythag theorem

if a^2 + b^2 > c^2, then it is an obtuse triangle

if a^2+b^2<c^2, then it is an acute triangle

finally, if a^2+b^2=c^2, then it is a right triangle

NOTE THAT C ALWAYS EQUALS THE LONGEST LENGTH OF THE TRIANGLE!!!

What is the slope for (-12,18),(11,12)

frutty [35]

Answer:The slope is -6/23 or 6/-23 since the negative sign can be on the numerator or denominator, or in the middle. However, you cannot have a negative sign on the numerator and denominator at the same time for negative number or it will make it positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Delta y/Delta x=

y2-y1/x2-x1=

12-18/11-(-12)=

-6/23

He nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports t

This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°, therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see attached).

Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse (flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this case, we use the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight

flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45

flight = 96.17 miles per hr
