Answer:

15.5^2 + 14.0^ = 20.8^2

436.25 = 432.64

it is not a triangle because a+b is not = c

Answer: These given lengths do not make up a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out if this is a right triangle or not, we would need to use the Pythagorean Theorem in order to verify if these lengths satisfy the properties of a right triangle. We would need to use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

14^2 + 15.5^2 = 20.8^2

196 + 240.25 = 432.64

436.25 ≠ 432.64

Therefore, this is not a right triangle.

Write a phrase as an algebraic expression six less than a number times 11

nadezda [96]

Let the number = x

11x is 11 times the number. You are to take 6 less than this. Be careful how you read six less. It means the 6 is subtracted from the 11x

11x - 6 This is what you finally get.

Use the quadratic formula x^2-5x+3=0

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$x^2 -5x +3 = 0\\\\ x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2a} \\\\b = -5, a = 1 , c = 3\\\\x= \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2a} , x= \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2a}\\\\x= \frac{5 + \sqrt{25-12} }{2}, x= \frac{5-\sqrt{25-12} }{2}\\\\x= \frac{5+\sqrt{13} }{2}, x= \frac{5- \sqrt{13} }{2}$
