If you have the length of each side, apply the pythagorean theorem to the triangle. If you get a true statement, then you can be sure that you do indeed have a right triangle. If you get a false statement then you can be sure that your triangle is not a right triangle.
Pythagorean therem is : A squared + B squared = C squared
The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:
a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5
Answer: y=-1/20x+5
