Answer:

B) Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has vertices at A(-1,2), B(4,2) and C(3,-1).

We must first determine the length of the sides of the triangle, before we can classify it.

We apply the distance formula to find length of the sides.

|AB|=\sqrt{(4--1)^2+(2-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(2-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{5^2+(0)^2}

\Rightarrow |AB|=\sqrt{25}

\Rightarrow |AB|=5 units.

The length of side BC

|BC|=\sqrt{(3-4)^2+(-1-2)^2}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-3)^2}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{1+9}

\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{10}

The length of side AC

|AC|=\sqrt{(3--1)^2+(-1-2)^2}

We simplify to obtain;

|AC|=\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(-3)^2}

\Rightarrow |AC|=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}

|AC|=\sqrt{16+9}

|AC|=\sqrt{25}

|AC|=5\:units

Since |AC|=5\:units=|AB|, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

A cube shaped box has a volume of 27 cubic cm. what's the length of the box? how would you figure this out
zvonat [6]
Recall the formula for volume of a cube; Length * Height * Width = Volume. Well in a cube, all sides are the same value. So  L = H = W. So any variable can be used as all three measurements. So x * x * x = 27 cubic cm. We can simplify this into x^3 =27. Cube-root each side to end up with x = 3 cm. Length, Height and Width are all 3 cm.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

D. 10*6^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This fits the problem as long as there were 10 rows. The 10 signifies the number of rows while the 6^2 is the number of bricks per row. This would be a total of 360 bricks.
