Answer:

4.75 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must introduce the symbols for inches and feet.

Here we will use, x' = x feet and x" = x inches

A high school track teams long jump record is 21 feet and 2\dfrac{1}{4} inches i.e. 21'2.25" this year.

Now, Tim's best long jump is 20 feet and 9\dfrac{1}{2} inches i.e. 20'9.5".

So, the difference between the record jump and Tim's best jump is

(21'2.25" - 20'9.5")

= (21'2.25" - 21') + (21' - 20'9.5")

= 2.25" + 2.5" {Since, 1' = 12" i.e. 21' = 20' 12"}

= 4.75"

Therefore, Tim has to jump 4.75 inches farther to break the record. (Answer)

A triangle has sides of lengths 13, 21, and 24. is it a right triangle? explain
mel-nik [20]
<span>No, it doesn't. To find out if it's a right angled triangle, we use Pythagorean triple. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the opposite and adjacent sides. Obviously, the longest side, which is our hypotenuse is 24. So we want to find out whether the square of our hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides i. e 13 and 21. 24^ 2 = 576 ; 13^2 = 169 ; 21^2 = 441; So is 576 = 169 + 441. An emphatic No: hence the triangle isn't right angled since it doesn't satisfy pythagorean triple.. A^2 is not equal to B^2 + C^2 where a is the hypotenuse and b and c the opposite and adjacent sides.</span>
