Answer:
D. Irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle compare to the lengths of the legs?
2 answers:
we know that
In a right triangle we have
two legs and one hypotenuse
Let
a,b -----> the legs of the right triangle
c-----> the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the greater side)
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared

Answer:
- y = 1/2x +2
- y = -2x +7
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The given line has a slope of -1/3, so the lines we want will have slopes of ...
m1 = tan(arctan(-1/3) +45°) = 0.5 . . . . . using a calculator
m2 = tan(arctan(-1/3) -45°) = -2
Of course, these two lines are perpendicular to each other, so their slopes will have a product of -1: (0.5)(-2) = -1.

We can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line to write the desired equations:
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
<u>Line 1</u>:
y = 1/2(x -2) +3
y = 1/2x +2
<u>Line 2</u>:
y = -2(x -2) +3
y = -2x +7
