Answer:
No. Remember, a right angle must have a 90 degree angle. We can find the lengths with the Pythagorean Theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the length 7, 10, and 12, we can assume that 12 is the hypotenuse (it is the longest length).
- we can use 7 and 10 interchangeably.
Fill in the equation, 
where c = 12, and a or b = 7 or 10.
To indicate if the given lengths would form a right angle, we can only input 7 or 10, not both.
Therefore,
or 
==> 49 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b= </u>
<u> ==> </u><u>9.746</u>
b= 9.7, not 10.
==> 100 + b^2 = 144 ==> <u>b = </u>
<u> ==> </u><u>6.633 </u>
b= 6.6, not 7.
Therefore, the lengths 7, 10, and 12, does NOT make a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
M is the independent variable
The slide needs to be 4.123 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Length for the ladder- 1 mtr
Distance of the bottom of the slide from the ladder- 4 mtr
Length of the slide needed
We can view the whole set up in the form of a right-angled triangle with the base representing the slide distance from the ladder, ladder length representing altitude and slide length representing as hypotenuse (As provided in the diagram)
For right-angled triangle we know from Pythagoras theorem-
Base² + altitude²= hypotenuse
²
Substituting the values of base as 4 mtr and altitude as 1 m
(Hypotenuse)²= 17
∴ Hypotenuse (slide length) =4.123 mtr
∴ Length of the slide needed= 4.123 meters
Y is 9 because 2 times 5 is 10, then you take that same 10 and subtract 1 and then you have 9
