Mathematics

devlian [24]4 years ago

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.

2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.

now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.

3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)

4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.

(-46a=-46)

5.divide by -46 to get a=1

Is DEF a right triangle? True or false
umka2103 [35]
Short answer = false
Remark

If it is a right triangle, it will obey the Pythagorean Equation. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let's see if it does.

Equation
a^2 + b^2= c^2
c must be the longest line. (Hypotenuse)

Givens
a = 24
b = 17
c = 40

Sub and Solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
17^2 + 24^2 = c^2 [We'll see if this comes out to 40]

289 + 576 = c^2
865 = c^2 which is no where near what 40^2 equals. 40^2 = 1600

Short answer False

Square root of 865 = (865)^1/2 = 29.4
