about the second one... well, is a "fait accompli" that using the pythagorean theorem, if x = 8 and y = 5, the hypotenuse must be √(8² + 5²) = √(89), which is neither of those choices.
5, 8, 13 are no dice, namely 5² + 8² ≠ 13
25, 64, 17 is are no dice too, because 25² + 17² ≠ 64²
however, 5,12 and 13 are indeed a pythagorean triple
also is 39, 80, 89.
when looking for a pythagorean triple, recall that c² = a² + b².
so the longest leg is the sum of the square of the small ones.
so what you'd do is, check the small legs, square them, add them up, if they're indeed a pythagorean triple, they "must" add up to the longest leg.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
If suffices to look at the last term. It must simplify to 4/(3w²), so the exponents of z must match in numerator and denominator, and the ratio of constants must reduce to 4/3.
The exponents of z have the right values in choices B and D, but the ratio of constants only matches in choice D. Looking at the rest of choice D, we see that we can factor 6w²z² from both numerator and denominator, then factor 2 from the remaining numerator to make it match the desired form.
