Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out whether a triangle is a right triangle using only the side lengths, you can use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1.5^2 + 2^2 = 3^2

2.25 + 4 = 9

Since this equation isn't true, these numbers cannot be the side lengths of a right triangle.

Hawick is 15 miles south of Abbotsford, and Kelso is 17 miles east of Abbotsford.

vazorg [7]

You are gonna use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 because the cities make a right triangle and you are trying to find the hypotenuse (c). C^2 ends up being 517 and the square root, your answer, is 22.7 miles

Leah loves chicken wings and is comparing the deals at three different restaurants. Buffalo Bills has 888 wings for \$7$7dollar

ella [17]

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = $\frac{7}{8} =0.875$

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = $\frac{10}{12}= 0.833$

Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17

Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = $\frac{17}{20}= 0.850$

Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.
