A right triangle's longest side is the hypotenuse
let x=longest, y=middle, and z=shortest
x=y+2
y=2z-1
therefore x=(2z-1)+2=2z+1
find z
z^2+y^2=x^2 by Pythagorean theorem
plug in x and y in terms of z
z^2+(2z-1)^2=(2z+1)^2
z^2+4z^2-4z+1=4z^2+4z+1
subtract the right-hand side's value from the left-hand side's
z^2-8z=0
z(z-8)=0
z=0, 8
z cannot be zero as the sides must have some value to it.
Therefore the shortest side is equal to 8

Describe the transformation from triangle DEF to triangle D′E′F′ in the figure. Question 17 options:
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

  C)  Reflection about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

DE points to the right and slightly down. D'E' points to the left and slightly up. The segments are parallel, not perpendicular, so represent a rotation of 180°, not 90°. If the figure were subject only to translation, these segments would point in the same direction.

The transformation is a reflection about the origin (C). (This is equivalent to a rotation of 180°.)
