Answer:

The position of the three cities do not form a right-triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three cities on a map (say A, B, and C).

Now, the distances between them are 45 miles, 56 miles, and 72 miles.

i.e. AB= 45 miles, BC= 56 miles and CA =72 miles.

If the three cities A, B, C form a right-angled triangle on the map, then applying Pythagoras Theorem AB² +BC² =AC²

or, AC= √(AB² +BC²) must be satisfied.

Now, right-hand side of the above equation =√(45²+56²) =71.84 ≠ 72 (AC)

Hence, Right-hand side ≠ Left-hand side.

Therefore, the positions of the three cities do not form a right triangle. (Answer)

Jessica assembles a product that requires the insertion of 3 aluminum pins. She can assemble approximately 15 products per hour.
larisa [96]
If she can make 15 per hour that would mean that each hour she is making 15 cans.

She has 6 hours that means that she will make 90 products.

How To Do The Math: 15<span>×6=90

Since we are finding out how many pins she need and not haw many products we will have to check how many pins she will need per product.

She needs 3 pins per product.

Since she will be making 90 products all we have to do is multiply 90 by 3 which will equal 270.

How To Do The Math:90</span><span>×3=270

Your Answer will be 270 Pins.</span>

−3 3/8−7/8 what is it
erastova [34]

Greetings from Brasil...

First, let's make the mixed fraction improper:

- (3 3/8)

- { [(8 · 3) + 3]/8}

- { [24 + 3]/8}

- {27/8}

- (3 3/8) - (7/8)

- (27/8) - (7/8)

as the denominators are equal, we operate only with the numerators

- 34/8      <em>simplifying</em>

<h2>- 17/4</h2>

Find the measure of angle r
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer 121°

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles have an interior angle sum of 180.

From this you can subtract 103 and 18 to get 59.

The line that r is connected to is 180° (hence being a line)

This means you can subtract 59 from 180 to get 121°
