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

Find the complete factored form of the polynomial -44a^3 + 20a^6
irakobra [83]

Answer:

4a^3(5a^3-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

→Take out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor). The GCF is 4a^3 because both -44a^3 and 20a^6 can be divided by it, like so:

-44a^3+20a^6

4a^3(5a^3-11)

Find the distance of ST given, S ;-2,4) and T (4,1)
Angelina_Jolie [31]
You have to use the distance formula which is:

Distance = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

Using the coordinates given.

D = √(4 - (-2)^2 + (1 - 4)^2

D = √(6)^2 + (-3)^2

D = √36 + 9

D = √45

D = √9 × 5

D = 3√5
