Answer:

Isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure what type of triangle this is out, we need to start by plotting the given points. That will help us visualize the triangle better and see if our conclusions make sense. (See attached picture).

Once we got the triangle, the strategy to follow is to use the distance between two points formula to see what the measurement of each side of the triangle is. This will help us determine if 2, 3 or none of the sides of the tirangle are the same.

The distance formula is the following:

distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

so now we can find the desired distances, let's start with the distance between P and Q:

|PQ|=\sqrt{(-4-0)^{2}+(9-8)^{2}}

which yields:

|PQ|=\sqrt{17}

next, let's find the distance between P and R:

|PR|=\sqrt{(-4-(-3))^{2}+(9-5)^{2}}

which yields:

|PR|=\sqrt{17}

and finally the distance between Q and R:

|QR|=\sqrt{(0-(-3))^{2}+(8-5)^{2}}

which yields:

|QR|=3\sqrt{2}

As you  may see from the result, only two of the three sides are the same, |PQ| and |PR|, so this will be an Isosceles triangle.

Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 30 m. leave your answer in terms of pi @Directrix
insens350 [35]
The formula for surface area of a sphere: A = 4 pi r^2.  
Since the radius is 30 m then A = 4pi30^2. 
 30^2 x 4 =3600
 A=3600pi m

Which function has the greatest maximum y-value?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intersect for h(x) is -11 as shown in the table, where the x value is 0

y-intersect for f(x) you find out by subbing 0 in the place of x and get the y intersect value of 2.99

y-intersect of g(x) is 3 as shown in the drawing

as seen across the three y-intersects, the value of g(x) y-intesect is the greatest
