Jack and Andrea want to create a right triangle together using values of x and y and the polynomial identity to generate Pythago

rean triples. If Andrea picks a value of x = 2, and the hypotenuse of the resulting right triangle is 5, what natural number value of y did Jack pick? y = 1 y = 2 y = 3 y = 4

A right triangle can be considered as a special type because the relationship of its sides can be described using the hypotenuse formula:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

or

c^2 = x^2 + y^2

where,

c is the hypotenuse of the triangle and is the side opposite to the 90° angle

while a and b are the sides adjacent to the 90° angle

 

In the problem statement, we are given that one of the side has a measure of 2 = x, while the hypotenuse is 5 = c, therefore calculating for y:

y^2 = c^2 – x^2

y^2 = 5^2 – 2^2

y^2 = 21

y = 4.58

 

The natural number is the number before the decimal. Therefore the answer is:

y = 4

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP What does it mean for a scatter plot to have a negative trend?
mestny [16]

Answer:

D: None of these are true

Explanation:

If the points on the scatter plot seem to form a line that slants down from left to right, there is a negative relationship or negative correlation between the variables. If the points on the scatter plot seem to be scattered randomly, there is no relationship or no correlation between the variables

Quickly what is the answer to this and why
Darya [45]

Answer:

Q = 146

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that angle S and T are equal because the sides are equal

The measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles in a triangle

Q = S+T

Q = S+S

Q = 2S

Q =2* 73

Q = 146
