Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean theorem:</u>
<u>Verify this for each line:</u>
1.
- 28² + 45² = 53²
- 2809 = 2809
- Yes
2.
- 33² + 56² = 64²
- 4225 ≠ 4096
- No
3.
- 36² + 77² = 85²
- 7225 = 7225
- Yes
Combinatorial Enumeration. That whole class was a rollercoaster ride of mind-blowing generating functions to prove crazy things. The exam had ridiculous questions like 'count the number of cactus trees with n vertices such that etc etc etc' and you'd do three pages of terrible terrible sums and algebra. Then your final answer would be something beautiful like n/2 and you'd breath a sigh of relief and thank the math gods.
To solve, simply simplify each fraction
(16/32)/(16/16) = 1/2
(12/24)/(12/12) = 1/2
True, the equation given to us is true.
hope this helps
