For a right triangle, the sum of the squares of two shorter side should be equal to the square of the third side. The calculations for each choices are shown below.
a. (5 mm)² + (12 mm)² = 169 mm² ; (13 mm)² = 169 mm² ; EQUAL
b. (20 mm)² + (48 mm)² = 2704 mm² ; (52 mm)² = 2704 mm² ; EQUAL
c. (6 mm)² + (8 mm)² = 100 mm² ; (10 mm)² = 100 mm² ; EQUAL
d. (11 mm)² + (24 mm)² = 697 mm² ; (26 mm)² = 676 mm² ; NOT EQUAL
Therefore, the answer is letter D.
Answer:
So we can try all answers with -10 we get -11/4 = -2.75. And that is less so it works. -7 wont work because -8/4 = -2 and its not less than its the same. So the higher you go it wont work. So that rules out -7, -5, and -1. For 0 you get -1/4 = 0.25 which also doesn't work.

Only 1 answer: A</u></h2>
Answer:
4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Travel time is proportional to distance and inversely proportional to speed. If c represents the speed of the current in miles per hour, an equation for the total trip time is ...
825/(29 -c) +825/(29 +c) = 58 . . . . . . hours travel time
825(29 +c) +825(29 -c) = 58(29 -c)(29 +c)
58c² -928 = 0 . . . . . . . rearrange to standard form
58(c -4)(c +4) = 0 . . . . factor
Values of c that satisfy this equation are 4 and -4. For the purpose here, we'll choose the positive solution.
The speed of the current is 4 miles per hour.
To answer this, we need to start with the standard equation for an ellipse:
(x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)=1
Where a is one half of one axis, and b is one half of the other.
The problem states that one axis is 1057 ft, and the other is 880 ft, so divide these values by 2 and square them. This results in:
(x^2/279,312.25)+(y^2/193,600)=1
For verification, if you have a graphing calculator, solve for y, set the size of the window so it should perfectly fit the ellipse, and check (it does)
