Answer:

The sail forms an obtuse angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use Pythagorean theorem to classify triangle, which states:

  • If the sum of squares of two shorter sides is smaller than the square of longest side than triangle is an obtuse triangle.
  • If the sum of squares of two shorter sides is greater than the square of longest side than triangle is an acute triangle.
  • If the sum of squares of two shorter sides is equal to the square of longest side than triangle is a right triangle.

Let us check our given sides using Pythagorean theorem.

17^2?7^2+15^2

289?49+225

289>274

We can see that the square of longest side is 289, which is greater than 274, therefore, the sail forms an obtuse angle.

Answer: Obtuse triangle.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, you have:

- If the square of the length of the longest side is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is classified as "obtuse".

-  If the square of the length of the longest side is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is classified as "acute".

-  If the square of the length of the longest side and the lenght of the other two sides are equal, then it is a right triangle.

2. Based on this information, you have:

(17ft)^{2}=289ft^{2}\\(15ft)^{2}+(7ft)^{2}=274ft^{2}

289ft^{2}>274ft^{2}

3. The longest side is greater than the other two sides. therefore, it is an obtuse triangle.

Find the value of x :)
Damm [24]

Answer:

x=65

Step-by-step explanation:

130+75+90+x=360

add 130 75 and 90 together to simplify

295+x=360

subtract 295 by both sides to isolate x

x=65

Evaluate -1-3-(-9)+(-5)
babunello [35]

To evaluate this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, and that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Using this knowledge, let's begin to simplify the expression below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) + (-5)

Because addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction of a positive number, we can change + (-5) to -5, as shown below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) - 5

Next, because we know that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can change - (-9) to + 9, as shown below:

-1 - 3 + 9 - 5

Now, we can subtract the first two terms and begin to evaluate our expression:

-4 + 9 - 5

Next, we can add the first two numbers of the expression:

5 - 5

Now, we can subtract our last two numbers, which gives us our answer:

0

Therefore, your answer is 0.

Hope this helps!
