You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.

Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.

5² + b² = (2√2)²

25 + b² = 2²(√2)²

25 + b² = 4(2)

25 + b² = 8

b² = 8 - 25

b² = - 17

b = √-17

b= (√17i)

Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.

Explain how you would name a sorting rule for 1 square , 1 rectangle and 1 triangle

Ivanshal [37]

A common characteristic for the shapes given is that they all consist of sides. Therefore, the most applicable sorting rule is the number of sides. In this regard, there will be two categories of the shapes given.

That is, number of sorting rule in which:
Category 1: 1 square and 1 rectangle all with four sides.
Category 2: 1 triangle with three sides.

Answer:

119.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) = 100 years

Standard deviation (sd) = 15 years

closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the

distribution?

Obtain the Zscore for 90th percentile (0.90) on the z table = 1.28

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

1.28 = (X - 100) / 15

1.28 × 15 = X - 100

19.2 = X - 100

19.2 + 100 = X

X = 119.2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When angles are between the parallel lines, they are called interior. If they are both on the same side of the transversal, they are "same-side interior."

If angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, they are exterior.

If angles are in the same direction from the intersection point, they are corresponding.

Angles in opposite directions from the point of intersection are vertical angles.

same-side interior: {3, 5} and {4, 6}. (supplementary)

same-side exterior: {1, 7} and {2, 8}. (supplementary)

alternate interior: {3, 6} and {4, 5}. (congruent)

alternate exterior: {1, 8} and {2, 7}. (congruent)

corresponding: {1, 5}, {2, 6}, {3, 7}, {4, 8}. (congruent)

vertical: {1, 4}, {2, 3}, {5, 8}, {6, 7}. (congruent)

Angles 6 and 4 are same-side interior angles; their sum is 180°.
