Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Answer:
{16, +infinity}
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number with n
Required
Find the solution set
From the question, we have that;
4½n - 9½ > 62.5
Convert all numbers to decimal
4.5n - 9.5 > 62.5
Add 9.5 to both sides
4.5n - 9.5 + 9.5 > 62.5 + 9.5
4.5n > 72
Multiply both sides by 2
2(4.5n) > 72 * 2
9n > 144
Multiply both sides by ⅑
⅑ * 9n > 144 * ⅑
n > 16
This implies that n ranges to infinity from positive 16;
Hence, the correct answer is {16, +infinity}
Answer:
$40,000
Step-by-step explanation:
25% of x = $10,000
0.25x = 10,000
x = 10,000/0.25
x = 40,000
Answer: $40,000
