No, Abe is incorrect.

If you don’t know which side is the hypotenuse, you have to try every possibility.

3^ + 4^ = 5^
25 = 25

The triangle is a right triangle. The side which is 5 cm long is the hypotenuse.

What is the value of minus 6 x cubed minus y squared minus 3 x y if if x = -2 and y = 4
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Well, "minus 6 x cubed minus y squared minus 3 x y" translates to:

-6x^{2} -y^{2} -3xy

Then, if we insert the values for x and y, we get:

-6(-2)^{2} -(4)^{2} -3(-2)(4)

When we distribute and multiply:

144-16-24

And once we combine like terms:

19.36 + 30.25 = 43.56

49.61 = 43.56 (false)
