Answer:

\boxed{Yes.}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are regular side lengths and c is the hypotenuse.

  • The hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle and is assigned to the c-variable.
  • The other two side lengths can be assigned to either a or b because of the commutative property: a + b = b + a.

Now, just substitute the side lengths into the formula and solve!

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2    Simplify the equation by taking each value to its power.

81 + 144 = 225    Simplify by adding like terms.

225 = 255

Therefore, this is indeed a right triangle.

Answer:

<h2>Yes, this is a right triangle.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse always have the highest number than base and perpendicular.

Hypotenuse ( h ) = 15

Base ( b ) = 9

Perpendicular ( p ) = 12

Let's see whether the given triangle is a right triangle or not

Using Pythagoras theorem:

{h}^{2}  =  {p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

Plugging the values,

{15}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {9}^{2}

Evaluate the power

225  = 144 + 81

Calculate the sum

225 = 225

Hypotenuse is equal to the sum of perpendicular and base.

So , we can say that the given lengths of the triangle makes a right triangle.

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!

F(x) = x2+3x+2 x2+5x+4 Why is there no zero at x = –1?
dmitriy555 [2]
You could rewrite F(x) as

\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+5x+4}=\dfrac{(x+1)(x+2)}{(x+1)(x+4)}

and be tempted to cancel out the factors of x+1. But this cancellation is only valid when x\neq-1.

When x=-1, you end up with the indeterminate form \dfrac00, which is why -1 is not a zero.
