Answer: a = 8; b = 15; c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

c = b + 2 and c = 2a + 1

b = c − 2 and a = $\frac{c-1}{2}$

c² = b² + a²

$c^{2} = (c-2)^{2} + \frac{c-1}{2}\\$

$c^{2}= \frac{4 (c-2)^{2}+(c - 1)^{2} }{4}$

$4c^{2}={4 (c^{2} + 4 -4c)+c ^{2} + 1-2c$

$4c^{2}={4 c^{2} + 16 -16c)+c ^{2} + 1-2c$

$c^{2}-18c+17=0$

$c(c -17)-1(c-17)=0$

$(c -1)(c-17)=0$

c = 1 or c = 17

If c = 1 then b = 1 - 2 = -1, that's not possible

So x = 17

b = 17 - 2 = 15

a = $\frac{17-1}{2} = 8$

Length sides of the triangle are 17 cm, 15 cm and 8 cm.

I saw some of this on a site but I want to make sure its correct so we're gonna apply the pythagorean theory and see if its correct.

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} \\8^{2} + 15^{2} = 17^{2} \\64 + 225 = 289\\289 = 289\\$

This shows that this is correct.

Hope this helped! Again, some of this was from a site, not from me.

Please help explanation if possible

Answer:

y =3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well one of the way to do this question is the formula given below your question, but for me, i rather do it this way

OK they gave u y=3x - 12

And they say another line is parallel, once u see the word parallel means they have the same angle, same slope, same gradient ( sorry if I give u the wrong terms, since I learn mine in Malay)

So first u got to understand the slope-intercept form

y = mx + c

y is your y coordinate

x is your x coordinate

m is your gradient ( as in how much the line slants)

c is the y - intercept, as in, if u draw a graph, the y-coordinate where your line touches the y-axis (the vertical line)

So since the say the both lines are parallel, so both of their "m" is the same that is 3. Why? Cuz just compare

y = mx + c

y = 3x - 12

Therefore the m is 3

Therefore u alredy got your first value, so put it in your slope intercept form

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

Now how to find c? Very easy, just put in the value of y and x from the coordinate ( that the line youre finding is on) they gave u, just put the value in

They gave u

(1, - 2)

So when x = 1, y = - 2

Therefore put it in

y = 3x + c

-2 = 3 (1) + c

c = - 5

Since now u have your m and c value, your slope intercept form is done, just put it in

y = mx + c

y = 3x + (-5)

y = 3x -5

The square rootof which number is rational a7. b 1.96. c. 0.04. d. 13

artcher [175]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which one of these numbers is a perfect square. We know 7 and 13 can be eliminated since they're prime numbers so they can't be perfect squares. B and C are both perfect squares so that's the answer.

Mr zambito buys a 3 1/2 - pound bag of dog food every 3 weeks mr zambito feeds his dog the same amount of dog food each day how

Murljashka [212]

3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.

Set up a proportion. 3.5 lb = x 
 21 days 365 days

Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
