Answer:

A) 8, 15, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Thus:

\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=c

Option A:

\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17 → 17 = 17 OK!

Option B:

\sqrt{6^2+8^2}  = 10 → 10 ≠ 12 NO

Option C:

\sqrt{9^2+11^2} = [tex]\sqrt{202}[/tex] → \sqrt{202} ≠ 21 NO

Option D:

\sqrt{4^2+13^2} = \sqrt{185} → \sqrt{185} ≠ 16 NO

Answer in 5 min I GIVE U BRAINLIEST
telo118 [61]

This is the formula of finding the hypotenuse: a² + b² = c².

So the legs would be a and b.

4² + 4² = c²

c² = 16 + 16

c² = 32

c = √32  (Option C)

What does g(x) equal for number 4?
Arisa [49]
G(x) is a quadratic function with a parabolic graph that opens up and has vertex at (0,0).  If we dilate this vertically by a factor of 6, we get h(x) = 6x^2.

If we translate the graph of h(x) 1 unit up and 4 units to the right, we get

k(x) = 6(x-4)^2 + 1.
