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

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.

A car rental costs $50 for the first day. Additional days cost $35 per day, unless the car is rented for 7 days or more, in whic
son4ous [18]

Answer:

\$50+\$31.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of days

y----> the cost of renting a car

we know that

For x

y=\$50+\$35x

For x\geq 7\ days

The rate is equal to

0.90*\$35=\$31.5

so

y=\$50+\$31.5x

In this problem. the car has been rented for more than a week

therefore

x> 7\ days

The cost of renting a car is equal to

y=\$50+\$31.5x

How do i explain how the distance on the number line and opposit numbers are related
strojnjashka [21]
Hey there!

The distance on a number line is the distance that a point is from 0.
For example, if you were looking at a number line and there was a point on the number 5, that point would be 5 units away from 0.

Opposite numbers are related because they are the same distance away from 0. For example -3 and 3 are both 3 units away from the number 0.

I hope this helped! :-)
