Answer:

An ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices at A(-5, 4), B(4, 1), and C(1, -8), to know the type of triangle this is, we need to find the three sides of the triangles by taking the distance between the points.

Distance between two points is expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For side |AB|:

A(-5, 4) and B(4, 1)

|AB| = √(4-(-5))²+(1-4)²

|AB| = √9²+3²

|AB| = √90

For side |BC|

B(4, 1), and C(1, -8)

|BC| =√(1-4)²+(-8-1)²

|BC| = √3²+9²

|BC| = √90

For side |AC|:

A(-5, 4) and C(1, -8).

|AC| = √(1-(-5))²+(-8-4)²

|AC| = √6²+12²

|AC| = √36+144

|AC| = √180

Based on the distances, it is seen that side AB and BC are equal which shows that two sides of the triangle are equal. A triangle that has two of its sides to be equal is known as an ISOSCELES TRIANGLE. Therefore the term that correctly describes the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Answer - 720

You would do 6 x 5 = 30 to get how many dawn had
Then you’d do 30 x 4 = 120 to get how many Charlie had
Then you’d do 120 x 3 = 360 to get how many Ben had
Then 360 x 2 = 720 to get the original amount

Find the volume of each figure, round to nearest tenth
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

These are the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere formula is:

V = 4/3 x pi x r cubed

V = 4/3 x 3.14 x 6 cubed

V = 4/3 x 678.24

V = 4/3 x 678.24/1

V = 2712.96/3

V = 904.32 cubic cm

So 904.30 cubic cm would be the volume.

the radius is 6

the diameter is 12

and i am guessing the height is also 12 since a sphere is perfectly round

Let m be the side length of the fourth smallest possible square with integer value of its area, and let n be the sum of all prim
Natali [406]

Answer:

510

Step-by-step explanation:

It's assumed 0 is not an integer.

M is obviously 2. The area of a square is the square of its side length. If this area must be an integer, then it must be the fourth integer, which is 4. The side length, M=\sqrt{4} = 2

A prime number is a positive integer which can be divided exactly by only itself and 1. In fact, it has only those two factors. The last statement excludes 1 as a prime number. Hence, the prime numbers less than 10 are 2, 3, 5 and 7. Their sum is N=2+3+5+7=17.

To evaluate MN(N-M),

2\times17(17-2)=34\times15=510

Factor the expression over the complex numbers.<br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B18" id="TexFormula1
AleksAgata [21]

Here we are given the expression:

x^{2}+18

Now let us equate it to zero to find x first,

x^{2}+18=0

Now subtracting 18 from the other side,

x^{2}=-18

taking square root on both sides,

So we will get two values of x as ,

x=3\sqrt{-2}

x=-3\sqrt{-2}

Now we can write square root -1 as i,

So our factors become,

x=3i\sqrt{2}

x=-3i\sqrt{2}

Answer:

The final factored form becomes,

(x+3i\sqrt{2})(x-3i\sqrt{2})
