Answer:

- 0.5 - 1.7 = - 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add two numbers using the number line.

Steps to Add Numbers on the Number Line:

When we add a negative numbers that we move the point to the left of the number line.

We are adding two negative numbers. Locate the first number which is -0.5. Then, add negative 1.7 to it which means moving the existing point 1.7 units to the left of the number line.

So, we get 2.2 on the left.

2.2 is left side it means sign is negative.

Final answer is -2.2

Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem states that: $a^2+b^2=c^2$
