Answer: choice B
Explanation: Go through each answer choice and try the Pythagorean theorem to see if it works. This is because a right triangle’s side lengths are described by the Pythagorean theorem. one side^2 + second side^2 = longest side^2. In a right triangle, this equation will be true. Let me show you what I mean
For answer choice A:
(root 2)^2 + (root 3)^2 = (root 4)^2
2 + 3 = 4
5 = 4
5 does not equal 4. Therefore it cannot be A.
For answer choice B:
(root 8)^2 + (3)^2 = (root 17)^2
8 + 9 = 17
17 = 17
this is true! therefore this is a right triangle and it’s B
Step-by-step explanation:
No, 1% of 40 is the same as 40% of 1. Which is 0.025% You cant have 0.025% of a learner or a human so this isn't possible.
Answer:
5.3
Step-by-step explanation:
You use the Pythagoras theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2.
Since you're solving for a side length that's not the hypotenuse you will manipulate the equation to c^2-a^2=b^2. From here you just plug in numbers.
8^2 - 6^2 = b^2
64 - 36 = b^2
b = sqrt(28)
b = 5.2915.... = 5.3
The formula of a distance between two points:

We have the points (-1, 8) and (5, -2). Substitute:

6(x+1)=24
6x+6=24
6x=24-6
6x=18
6x/6=18/6
x=3
