Law of cosine is :
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab cos(theeta)
so in case of right triangle , angle is 90 degree:
putting 90 degrees into formula:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab cos(90)
As we know that:
cos90 = 0
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab (0)
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 0
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ( this is pythagorean theorem ).
So the above statement is True.

I’m just guessing but since 13/4=3.25 that means that the triangle dialated by 3.25 so you multiply 8 by 3.25 and X might be 26

how do you know how many points are needed to make a graph of a polynomial function from a table? are there a safe number of poi

deff fn [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need a arbitrary points that will help you determine the sketch of the graph. I say use at most 5 points but you just need to know the following

The exterma: The maximum/minimum points on a certain interval. 

The zeroes: What values willTheorem, Factoring, and more to help you find the zeroes.

Increasing and decreasing behavior between the consective zeroes: How the function behaves around consective zeroes. It must be above or below x axis between the zeroes. 

And finally, the end behavoir: How the function behaves as x approaches infinity and negative infinity. Does the function increases or decreases.

That it. If you need an example, just ask me
