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

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!

The diagonal of a TV set is 13 inches long. It’s length is 7 inches more than the height. Find the dimensions of the TV set.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: The length is 12 inches while the height is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: It the Television has a diagonal of 13 inches, and a height of H inches, then the length would be (H + 7) inches. It’s length is 7 inches more than the height. At this point we can draw up a right angled triangle with the hypotenuse as 13 (diagonal side) and the other two sides as H and (H + 7)

Then we can apply the Pythagoras theorem which states that

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

(Where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the two other sides)

Hence,

13^2 = H^2 + (H + 7)^2

169 = H^2 + (H^2 + 14H + 49)

169 = 2H^2 + 14H + 49

By collecting like terms we now have

169 - 49 = 2H^2 + 14H

120 = 2H^2 + 14H

By re-arranging all terms on one side of the equation, we arrive at

2H^2 + 14H - 120 = 0

Divide all sides by 2

H^2 + 7H - 60 = 0

To solve the quadratic equation, we now factorize and we have,

H^2 + 12H - 5H - 60 = 0

(H + 12) (H - 5) = 0

Therefore

Either H + 12 = 0 OR

H - 5 = 0

Hence, Either H = -12 or H = 5

The dimension can not be a negative value so we shall take h equals 5.

Having calculated the height of the television as 5 inches, the length which was given as H + 7 can now be calculated as

Length = H + 7

Length = 5 + 7

Length = 12

Therefore, the length of the Television is 12 inches and the height is 5 inches

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!
babymother [125]

Answer:

Five more than the square of a number= 5 + x²

Five more than twice a number = 5 + 2x

Five less than the product of 3 and a number = 3x - 5

Five less the product of 3 and a number = 5 -3x

Twice the sum of a number and 5 = 2(x + 5)

The sum of twice a number and 5 = 2x + 5

The product of a cube of a number and 5= 5x³

The cube of the product of 5 and a number= (5x)³

AB = 6 cm, AC = 12 cm, CD = ?

In triangle ABC, ∠CBA = 90°, therefore in triangle BCD ∠CBD = 90° also.

Since ∠BDC = 55°, ∠CBD = 90°, and there are 180 degrees in a triangle, we know ∠DCB = 180 - 55 - 90 = 35°

In order to find ∠BCA, use the law of sines:
 
sin(∠BCA)/BA = sin(∠CBA)/CA
sin(∠BCA)/6 cm = sin(90)/12 cm
sin(∠BCA) = 6*(1)/12 = 0.5
∠BCA = arcsin(0.5) = 30° or 150°
We know the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°, so we choose the value 30° for ∠BCA

Now add ∠BCA (30°) to ∠DCB = 35° to find ∠DCA.
∠DCA = 30 + 35 = 65°

Since triangle DCA has 180°, we know ∠CAD = 180 - ∠DCA - ∠ADC = 180 - 65 - 55 = 60°

In triangle DCA we now have all three angles and one side, so we can use the law of sines to find the length of DC.

12cm/sin(∠ADC) = DC/sin(∠DCA)
12cm/sin(55°) = DC/sin(60°)
DC = 12cm*sin(60°)/sin(55°)
DC = 12.686 cm
