Can the numbers 24,32,40 be the lengths of three sides of a right triangle?

Mathematics

Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagorus theorum:   a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

24^{2} +32^{2} =  1024+576

                        =   1600

40^{2} = 1600

thus, it can be concluded that these lengths can be the sides of a right-angled triangle.

Hello : 
v . w = <span>| | v | | × </span><span>| | w | |  cos(</span><span>θ) ....(1)
v(2,0,1)   w(0,1,-3)

</span>v . w = (2)(0)+(0)(1)+(1)(-3) = - 3
| | v | |  = √((2)²+(0)²+(1)²) = <span>√5
</span>| | w |  =  √((0)²+(1)²+(-3)²) = √10
by (1) : 
cos(θ) = (v . w ) /  | | v | | × | | w | |

cos(θ) = = - 3/√50
θ =.....   calculate by 2ind function ( calculator)

Recall the equation for a circle with center ( h , k ) (h,k) and radius r r. At what point in the first quadrant does the line w
garri49 [273]
Equation of this circle is
x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36
y = 2.5x + 2

Substitute for y in the equation of the circle:-

x^2 + (2.5x + 2 - 2)^2 = 36

x^2 + 6.25x^2 = 36

x^2 = 36 / 7.25  

x = +/-   6  /  2.693  =  +/- 2.228

when x = 2.228 y = 2.5(2.228) + 2 =  7.57    to nearest hundredth

when x = -2.228 y = 2.5(-2.228) + 2 =   -3.57

So they intersect at 2 points but the intersect in the first quadrant is at (2.23, 7,57)        to nearest hundredth.

In a batch of 280 water purifiers, 12 were found to be defective. What is the probability that a water purifier chosen at random
aleksley [76]
This is experimental probability.

If 12 were found to be defective out of 280 the experimental probability of a purifier being defective is:

12/280 which is:

4.3%  (to nearest tenth of a percent)

Determine if a triangle with side lengths 7, 9, and 12 is acute, right, or obtuse.
laila [671]

Answer:

  Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of squares of the short sides is 130, so is less than the square of the long side. The long side (12) is longer than it would need to be for a right triangle, so the largest angle is bigger than 90°.

The triangle is obtuse.

_____

A triangle solver app or calculator can confirm this. Note angle C is about 96°, an obtuse angle.

Calvin throws 12 sheets of paper up in the air and randomly catches one of the sheets as they float down. Of the 12 sheets of pa
Leokris [45]

Total number of sheets are 12.

Total number of white sheets= 9

Total number of red sheets = 3

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes.

Hence

When Calvin throws the sheets in the air, the probability that he gets a white sheet is

\frac{9}{12}

which equals to \frac{3}{4}

that becomes 0.75
