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°.

Tim install 50 square feet of his floor in 45 mins. At this rate how long does it take him to install 495 square feet. Is that 9
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

the answer is 445.5

Step-by-step explanation:

what I did was divide 50 by 495 and got 9.9 then since it took 45 minutes every 50 square feet of floor i multiplied 45 x 9.9 and got 445.5

A triangle has two sides that measure 4ft and 3ft. Which could be the measure of the third side?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The measure of the third side must be less than the sum of the other two. That property is valid for all triangles.

For this question, call x the measure of the third side. So you must have

x < 4 + 3

x < 7 ft

The only option that satisfies the condition above is

option A) 5 ft.

I hope this helps. =)

2^x=3^x+1 what are the exact approximate solutions
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of course is to solve for x.  Right now there are 2 of them, one on each side of the equals sign, and they are both in exponential positions.  We have to get them out of that position.  The way we do that is by taking the natural log of both sides.  The power rule then says we can move the exponents down in front.

ln(2^x)=ln(3^{x+1}) becomes, after following the power rule:

x ln(2) = (x + 1) ln(3).  We will distribute on the right side to get

x ln(2) = x ln(3) + 1 ln(3).  The goal is to solve for x, so we will get both of them on the same side:

x ln(2) - x ln(3) = ln(3).  We can now factor out the common x on the left to get:

x(ln2 - ln3) = ln3.  The rule that "undoes" that division is the quotient rule backwards.  Before that was a subtraction problem it was a division, so we put it back that way and get:

x(\frac{ln(2)}{ln(3)})=ln(3).  We can factor out the ln from the left to simplify a bit:

x[ln(\frac{2}{3})]=ln(3).  Divide both sides by ln(2/3) to get the x all alone:

x=\frac{ln(3)}{ln(\frac{2}{3}) }

On your calculator, you will find that this is approximately -2.709

What is the difference between the measured values 1.05 and 1.050?
Black_prince [1.1K]
There is no difference. Both mean the same measurement except that 1.050 is presented in 4 significant figure and 1.05 in 3 significant figure.
