Why are some right triangles considered special?

Special right triangles. A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist. For example, a right triangle may have angles that form a simple ratio, such as 45-45-90. This is called an "angle based" right triangle.

Which of the following points are more than 5 units from the point P(−2, −2)? Select all that apply. A A (2, 1) B B (4, −1) C C

netineya [11]

The distance between any 2 points P(a,b) and Q(c,d) in the coordinate plane, is given by the formula:<span>

<span> $|PQ|= \sqrt{ (a-c)^{2} + (b-d)^{2}}$ </span></span>

Using this formula we calculate the distances |PA|, |PB|, |PC|, |PD| and |PE| and compare to 5.

$|PA|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+9}= \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PB|= \sqrt{ (-2-4)^{2} + (-2+1)^{2}}= \sqrt{36+1}= \sqrt{37} \approx 6$

$|PC|= \sqrt{ (-2-2)^{2} + (-2+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+1}= \sqrt{17}\approx4$

$|PD|= \sqrt{ (-2+6)^{2} + (-2+6)^{2}}= \sqrt{16+16}= \sqrt{32}\ \textgreater \ \sqrt{25}=5$

$|PE|= \sqrt{ (-2+5)^{2} + (-2-1)^{2}}= \sqrt{9+9}= \sqrt{16}=4$

Answer: B and D

How would you use a number line to round 16800 to the nearest ten thousand?

allsm [11]

Well you'd see if it's closer to 10000 or 20000.

In this case it would round to 20000.

P is the probability of a certain event. Which of the following indicates that P is certain to happen?

podryga [215]

Note for probability, if it will never happen the P = 0. If it must happen P = 1.

So certain to happen:

C. P=1
