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.

Let p, q, and r represent the following statements"
Nitella [24]

In logic, own symbols are used in order to be able to represent the relations between propositions in a general and independent way to the proposition, in order to be able to find the relationship process that operates in the communicated message, the propositional logic.

For this purpose there are, among others, the following logical operators: conjunction (and) ∧, disjunction (or) ∨, denial (not) ¬,  conditional (if - then) ⇒ and double conditional (if and only if, iff) ⇔.

So for this case we have:

Answer

a) Sam had pizza last night if and only if Chris finished her homework.

p⇔q

b) Pat watched the news this morning iff Sam did not have pizza last night.

r⇔¬p

c) Pat watched the news this morning if and only if Chris finished her homework and Sam did not have pizza last night.

r⇔(q∧¬p)

d) In order for Pat to watch the news this morning, it is necessary and sufficient that Sam had pizza last night and Chris finished her homework.

r⇔(p∧q)

e) <em>q ⇔ r</em>

Chris finished his homework if and only if Pat watched the news this morning

f) <em>p ⇔ (q ∧ r)</em>

Sam had pizza last night if and only if Chris finished his homework and Pat watched the news this morning

g) <em>(¬p) ⇔ (q ∨ r) </em>

Sam didn't have pizza last night if and only if Chris finished his homework or Pat watched the news this morning

h) <em>r ⇔ (p ∨ q) </em>

Pat watched the news this morning if Sam had pizza last night or Chris finished his homework

Help me find the slope
shusha [124]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as \frac{rise}{run},

So the line goes down 6 instead of rising, making the rise negative: -6

The line goes over 4, making the run: 4

So -6/4 or -3/2

2. A solar lease customer built up an excess of 6,500 kilowatt hours (kwh) during the summer using his solar
tia_tia [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a)  E = 6500 -50d

  b)  5000 kWh

  c)  the excess will last only 130 days, not enough for 5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  starting excess (E): 6500 kWh

  usage: 50 kWh/day (d)

<u>Find</u>:

  a) E(d)

  b) E(30)

  c) E(150)

<u>Solution</u>:

a) The exces is linearly decreasing with the number of days, so we have ...

  E(d) = 6500 -50d

__

b) After 30 days, the excess remaining is ...

  E(30) = 6500 -50(30) = 5000 . . . . kWh after 30 days

__

c) After 150 days, the excess remaining would be ...

  E(150) = 6500 -50(150) = 6500 -7500 = -1000 . . . . 150 days is beyond the capacity of the system

The supply is not enough to last for 5 months.
