ABC has side lenths 20, 24, and 31. Do the side lenghts form a Pythagorean triple?

1 answer:

4 0

No they don't.
Phythagorean triple is when the sum of the squares of two numbers is equal to the square of another number.

20^2 + 24^2 = 400 + 576 = 976
31^2 = 961

20^2 + 24^2 should have been equal to 31^2 but that's not the case. So, the side's length don't form a triple.

Hope it helped!

Can someone help me find x of this triangle

uysha [10]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a triangle is 180°.

6x + 1 + 6x - 14 + 9x + 4 = 180°

Arrange the like terms together and simply this equation.

6x + 6x + 9x + 1 + 4 - 14 = 180°

21x - 9 = 180°

Shifting '-9' to the other side of the equation gives you '+9'

21x = 180° + 9

21x = 189

Shifting 21 to the other side of the equation (to get x) makes it ÷21 (multiply)

x = 189 ÷ 21

x = 9
