Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three pieces of fencing he has to use are 8 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet long. For him to be able to make a right triangle with his fence, the length of the sides must form a Pythagoras triple. To determine if the lengths make a Pythagoras triple, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent².

Therefore

20² = 8² + 15²

400 = 64 + 225 = 289

Since they are not equal, it means that they do not form Pythagoras theorem, thus,.

He will not be able to make a right triangle with his fence.

Find the missing side length image below
barxatty [35]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.

Therefore, we would have the following ratio:

28/35 = ?/50

Cross multiply

35*? = 50*28

35*? = 1,400

Divide both sides by 35

? = 1400/35

? = 40

What is the differences in length between the shortest and longest crayons​
anastassius [24]

My answer would be 8.. I may not be correct, but I tried. So, I placed the numbers from least to greatest and split it 1’s and 2’s VS 3’s and 4’s. I just added 1 plus 2 plus 2 and a half plus 2 and a half and got 8. I also added (3+3+3)+3 and a half plus 3
