A spreadsheet or graphing calculator can perform the tedium of comparing the sum of squares of the shorter sides to the square of the longer side. The attachment shows a spreadsheet used for that purpose. It identifies the triple (8, 15, 17) as the sides of a right triangle.
You would have to solve for x the plug in the answer for c into the next equation to find your answer
6xy^2 - xy + 8 + 12y is a polynomial of degree 3
Answer:
9 = x (assuming 15 is the hypotenuse)
Step-by-step explanation:
15^2 = 12^2 + x^2
225 = 144 + x^2
subtract 144 from both sides
81 = x^2
square root both sides
9 = x
