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.

18% of 90 is what number?

bearhunter [10]

90/x=100/18
(90/x)*x=(100/18)*x - multiply both sides of the equation by x
90=5.55555555556*x - divide both sides of the equation by (5.55555555556) to get x
90/5.55555555556=x 
16.2=x 
x=16.2
18% of 90=16.2

Answer:

$\text{D. The terms may be combined.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that $\sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}$ . Using this, we can simplify and combine the two terms:

$6\sqrt{32}-12\sqrt{72},\\=6\cdot \sqrt{4}\cdot \sqrt{8}-12\cdot \sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{8},\\=6\cdot 2\cdot \sqrt{8}-12\cdot 3\cdot \sqrt{8},\\=12\sqrt{8}-36\sqrt{8},\\=-24\sqrt{8}=-24\cdot\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{2}=\boxed{-48\sqrt{2}}$ . Therefore, the terms may be combined.
