Answer:

<h2>This triangle is a right triangle:</h2><h2>36² + 15² = 39².</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ≤ b <c is the length of the sides of a right triangle, then:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We have

$a=15\ in,\ b=36\ in,\ c=39\ in$

Check the equality:

$L_s=15^2+36^2=225+1296=1521$

$R_s=39^2=1521$

$L_s=R_s$

It's a right triangle.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras

If the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 39

39² = 1521

36² + 15² = 1296 + 225 = 1521

The triangle is right since 36² + 15² = 39²

In the triangle below,

defon

Answer: y ≈ 10.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine function relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The side adjacent to the 20° angle is 10 cm.

cos(20°) = (10 cm)/y

y = (10 cm)/cos(20°)

y ≈ 10.6 cm

Three vertices of a parallelogram are shown in the figure below. Give the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

topjm [15]

Given:

The three vertices of a parallelogram are (-3,8), (4,5), (2,-5).

To find:

The fourth vertex of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let the vertices of the parallelogram are A(-3,8), B(4,5), C(2,-5) and D(a,b).

We know that, diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It means midpoints of both diagonals are same.

Midpoint formula:

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Two diagonals of ABCD are AC and BD.

Midpoint of AC = Midpoint of BD

$\left(\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{8-5}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)$

$\left(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{4+a}{2},\dfrac{5+b}{2}\right)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{4+a}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

$4+a=-1$

$a=-1-4$

$a=-5$

And,

$\dfrac{5+b}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$5+b=3$

$b=3-5$

$b=-2$

Therefore, the coordinates of fourth vertex are (-5,-2).

An earthquake wave travels through 55 km of rock in 25 seconds . Which equation represents the relationship between t, the numbe

ira [324]

Answer:

2.2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

Given data

An earthquake wave travels through 55 km

hence distance = 55 km

time taken = 25 seconds

<u>Required</u>

<u>the expression relating t and d</u>

Step two:

we know that velocity is

Speed= distance/time

speed= 55/25

Speed= 2.2 m/s

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10). which answer is the equation of the line?

mart [117]

First you need to find the slope of the line. So what you need to do is y^2-y^1 / x^2-x^1

(x^1, y^1) (x^2, y^2)
( -1, 7) ( 2, 10)

10-7/ 2- (-1)
3/3=1
slope is 1

I got 8 as the y intercept. Reason how is that I made a table. And what I did was go back instead of going forward.

x y
-1 7
0 8
1 9
2 10

The answer would be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8 But the answer choice you listed for A. would not match up the 2 coordinate you gave. Make sure a. should be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8, not -x y= 8-x y=8
