If you're only provided with the lengths of a triangle, and you're asked to determine whether or not the triangle is right or not, you'll need to rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to help you out. In case you're rusty on it, the Pythagorean Theorem defines a relationship between the <em>legs</em> of a right triangle and its <em>hypotenuse</em>, the side opposite its right angle. That relationship is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is its hypotenuse. To see if our triangle fits that requirement, we'll have to substitute its lengths into the equation.

How do we determine which length is the hypotenuse, though? Knowledge that the hypotenuse is always the longest length of a right triangle helps here, as we can clearly observe that 8.6 is the longest we've been given for this problem. The order we pick the legs in doesn't matter, since addition is commutative, and we'll get the same result regardless of the order we're adding a and b.

So, substituting our values in, we have:

(2.6)² + (8.1)² = (8.6)²

Performing the necessary calculations, we have:

6.76 + 65.61 = 73.96
72.37 ≠ 73.96

Failing this, we know that our triangle cannot be right, but we <em>do </em>know that 72.37 < 73.96, which tells us something about what kind of triangle it is. Imagine taking a regular right triangle and stretching its hypotenuse, keeping the legs a and b the same length. This has the fact of <em>increasing the angle between a and b</em>. Since the angle was already 90°, and it's only increased since then, we know that the triangle has to be <em>obtuse</em>, which is to say: yes, there's an angle in it larger than 90°.

Jake rides his bicycle 6 miles in 3/5
serg [7]

Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alr so-

You want first divide 3 by 3/5 since well- the question asks how many does he ride in 3 hours

Of course, you'll get the answer 5

Now you want to grab the 6 miles Jake could ride in 3/5 hours and put it in a new equation.

(you'll also want to take the 5 you got from the last equation)

You want to multiply both 6 and 5 which is 30

BOOM!

IN CONCLUSION-

the answer is 30 miles

On a shelf containing 53 comic books, 21 are Marvel titles, 17 are DC titles, 12 are Dark Horse titles, and 3 are Harvey titles.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

68% or \frac{36}{53}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability of Geraldo selecting a comic that isn't a DC title, we have to subtract the amount of comics that are DC titles from the total amount of comics and then divide that number by the total amount of comics.

53 - 17 = 36

36/53 = 0.679

Geraldo has a 68% chance of choosing a comic that isn't a DC title.
