Your numbers are 2, 3, 4.

The three consecutive numbers are x, x+1, x+2
The square of the first equals the third so x^2=x+2
Solve this quadratic as x^2-x-2=0
Factor into (x+1)(x-2)=0
So your answers are x=-1 and x=2
Since the question says they’re positive integers, use x=2
So the numbers are 2, 3, 4

Pply the converse of the pythagorean theorem to determine if it's a right triangle. Is the triangle a right triangle? No, 92+402
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Yes, 9^2+40^2=41^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Pythagoras’ theorem, the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

From what we have , the side lengths are 9, 40 and 41

As we can see, 41 is the longest side length and that makes it the hypotenuse

The square of the two other sides is 40^2 + 9^2 = 1,681

Also, 41^2 = 1,681

As we can see, the sum of the squares equal the square of the hypotenuse

Since this follows the theorem, we can conclude that the triangle is a right triangle

If X = 2 centimeters, Y = 6 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the object?
Sedbober [7]

In order to answer the question, it's absolutely essential to have
enough of a description of the object to know which of its parts 
'X', 'Y', and 'Z' are, and what other parts it may have.

An ideal way to accomplish this would have been for you to include the
picture that accompanies the question, wherever you copied it from.

Un pájaro vuela en línea recta desde la Copa de un árbol a la de otro árbol que está 2 metros más abajo, formando un ángulo de v
LuckyWell [14K]

The bird flew 5.45m far from the tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sin70° = 0.94

Cos70° = 0.34

Angle of flight = 70°

Refer the diagram attached for better understanding.

Cos70° = (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse)

0.34 = 2/ hyp

hyp = 2/(0.34)

hyp = 5.8 m

We have to find the opposite side of the angle of flight for the distance the bird flew.

Sin70° = (opposite side) /(hypotenuse)

0.94 = (opposite side) / 5.8

Opposite side= 0.94 x 5.8

= 5.45m

The bird flew 5.45m away from the tree to another tree.
