Can the sides of a triangle be in the given ratio? 3:4:5

Mathematics

RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if a triple of values will form a triangle, we must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that for a triangle with lengths a, b, and c:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Here, let's suppose that since the ratio of the sides is 3 : 4 : 5, then let the actual side lengths be 3x, 4x, and 5x, where x is simply a real value.

With loss of generality, set a = 3x, b = 4x, and c = 5x. Plug these into the Triangle Inequality to check:

a + b > c  ⇒  3x + 4x  >?  5x  ⇒  7x > 5x  ⇒  This is true

a + c > b  ⇒  3x + 5x  >?  4x  ⇒  8x > 4x  ⇒  This is also true

b + c > a  ⇒  4x + 5x  >?  3x  ⇒  9x > 3x  ⇒  This is true

Since all three conditions are satisfied, we know that a true triangle can be formed given that the ratio of their sides is 3 : 4 : 5.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, and it’s a right triangle.

3²+4²=5²

9+16=25

25=25

What is the equation of the line connecting (1,5) and (4,14)?
german
To find the slope of the line:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(14-5)/(4-1)=(9)/(3)=3

Only one of your 4 possible answers has 3 as a slope. However, plugging in each point into the y=mx+b equation, the y-intercept consistently comes out as 2..
y=mx+b
14=3(4)+b  b=2
5=3(1)+b    b=2
y=3x+2
If there is a consistent, positive slope (from your question, this does not seem to have a quadratic as an option), 3x+5 is not even a viable solution because x=1 when the y-value is 5 (and thus no other x value {0} could have a y-value of 5). It seems as though you have a typo on your hands. Hopefully this helps?

Complete the sentences below based on the graph of the function.<br><br> Please help!
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

  • 20 km
  • 20 km/h
  • 5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the graph is a plot of Sean's distance from home as he drives to work, works 8 hours, then drives home with a 2-hour stop along the way. It also appears that t is measured in hours after midnight.

The graph shows Sean's distance from home between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (t=17) is 20 km. Based on our assumptions, ...

  Sean's workplace is located 20 km from his home.

__

Speed is the change in distance divided by the change in time. Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Sean's position changes by 20 km. His speed is then ...

  (20 km)/(1 h) = 20 km/h

  Sean's speed driving to work was 20 km/h.

__

Between 5 p.m. (t=17) and 7 p.m. (t=19), Sean's position changes from 20 km to 10 km from home. That change took 2 hours, so his speed was ...

  (10 km)/(2 h) = 5 km/h

  Sean's speed between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. was 5 km/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The units of speed (kilometers per hour) tell you it is computed by dividing kilometers by hours. ("Per" in this context means "divided by".)

While the slope of the line on the graph between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. is negative, the speed is positive. The negative sign means Sean's speed is not away from home, but is toward home. When the direction (toward, away) is included, the result is a vector called "velocity." Speed is just the magnitude of the velocity vector. It ignores direction.

In stratified random sampling,(A) randomly selected elements within each of the strata form the sample.(B) all elements within t
otez555 [7]

Answer: (A) randomly selected elements within each of the strata form the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified random sampling is a random sampling technique in statistics .

  • It includes the partition of the entire population into sub-parts called strata.
  • The strata are formed on the basis of the characteristics shared by members .
  • After the formation of strata, researcher randomly selects participants from each strata to ensure that that the participant of every group must involve in the sample to represent each character.

Hence, the correct answer is :

(A) randomly selected elements within each of the strata form the sample.
