Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

With a right angle triangle, there are 3 sides.

There is the hypotenuse, the longest side, which is always opposite to the right-angle.

There are then the two other sides, which are shorter.

By what is known as the pythagorean principle, the square of the hypotenuse (meaning its length squared) will equate to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

So if we say the hypotenuse is, say, "c" cm long, and the other two sides are "a"  and "b" cm long, then we can write the pythagorean principle as an equation like so:

c² = a² + b²

Now that we have established this, we can answer the question asked.

the longest side is c, which is 15 cm, so this is the hypotenuse.

So, a and b are the other two sides.

Now we just plug the numbers into the equation, and see if the numbers on either side are the same:

(15)² = (9)² + (12)²

Well,

(15)² = 225,

(9)² = 81,

And,

(12)² = 144

So, Is:

225 = 144 + 81

Indeed, it is, therefore the triangle with sides of length 9, 12 and 15 cm is a right-angle triangle.

Use a stem-and-leaf plot to display the data, which represent the thickness (in centimeters) of ice measured at 20 different loc
navik [9.2K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the data given on a stem and leaf plot, the whole number in a given value would be used as the stem, while the number after the decimal point is the leaf. (Key: 3|3 = 3.3).

For example, in the first stem in the first row, we have 4 as the stem. All values that starts with 4 point would be represented in this row. The digit after 4 point for each of the values would be written on the leaf column in the first row, from the least to the largest. For the first row we have: 4 | 3 9.

Same applies to the rest rows.

The stem plot would look like the one below:

Ice Thickness:

Stem | Leaf

4 | 3 9

5 | 1 8 8 8 9

6 | 5 8 9 9

7 | 0 2 2 2 2 5 9

8 | 0 7

The data of the stem-and-leaf plot shows a bell-shaped pattern with majority of the ice thickness for the 20 locations clustering around the center of the data distribution.

What is the initial value of the equation shown?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value would be the value when x=0.  Substituting 0 for x,

y = -2(0)-5

y = 0 - 5

y = -5
