Can the set of lengths be the side lengths of a right triangle?

Mathematics

Answer:  Hello there!

We know that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the smaller sides given are:

7ft and 12ft, and the longest is 17ft

so if this triangle is a right triangle, we should have that:

7^2 + 12^2 = 17^2

17^2 = 289

7^2 + 12^2 = 193

The terms are different, which means that this is not a right triangle, then the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. No.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 3 side lengths 7 ft, 12 ft, 17 ft. We are asked to determine, whether the given set of lengths can form a right triangle or not.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve our given problem, which states that the square of hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of squares of two legs of right triangle.

17^2=12^2+7^2

289=144+49

289>193

Since the sum of  squares of both legs is less than square of hypotenuse, therefore, the given set of lengths can not be the side lengths of a right triangle.

Which equation is g(f)
Strike441 [17]

Answer: B. g(x) = |x| - 5

Step-by-step explanation: To translate an absolute value graph (|x|) you have to subtract 5 from the absolute value from the equation |x| but not from the value x. For example, if you did g(x) = |x - 5| then you would get a graph that is moved 5 spaces to the right. This is not what we want. Likewise if we did g(x) = |x + 5| then we would get a graph moved 5 spaces to the left. This is not what we want either.

To get a translated graph that moves down the y-axis (vertical axis), we have to subtract the equation |x| 5 units. This then moves it down 5 units to the y axis from the center.
