Do the side lengths 15,20 and 25 form a right triangle?<br><br><br> PLEASEEEE HELPPPP!!! asap
sveticcg [70]
<h3>Answer: Yes, those sides form a right triangle</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

a^2+b^2 = c^2

15^2+20^2 = 25^2

225+400 = 625

625 = 625

Since the last equation is true, this makes the first equation true for those a,b,c values. Therefore, by the pythagorean theorem converse, this is a right triangle.

Side note: c is always the longest side.

A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore
Stells [14]

The height of the  lighthouse is 44 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

You are given more information than you need.

Use the right triangle concept,

A yacht is anchored 90 feet offshore from the base of a lighthouse.

  • Base = 90 feet
  • Height = h feet

The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of  the lighthouse is 26 degrees.

<u>Using one side length and the angle only: </u>

The trigonometric formula is given as,

tan = height / base

tan[26º] = h ⁄ 90

 h = 90 × tan[26º]

h = 43.9 ft

h = 44 feet

Therefore, the height of the  lighthouse is 44 feet.

If a graph shows the function y=3x what are the coordinates of the intercepts
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

graph{3x+5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

x

intercept:  

x

=

−

5

3

 

y

intercept:  

y

=

5

Explanation:

For a linear graph, the quickest way to sketch the function is to determine the  

x

and  

y

intercepts and draw a line between the two: this line is our graph.

Let's calculate the  

y

intercept first:

With any function,  

y

intercepts where  

x

=

0

.

Therefore, substituting  

x

=

0

into the equation, we get:

y

=

3

⋅

0

+

5

y

=

5

Therefore, the  

y

intercept cuts through the point (0,5)

Let's calculate the  

x

intercept next:

Recall that with any function:  

y

intercepts where  

x

=

0

.

The opposite is also true: with any function  

x

intercepts where  

y

=

0

.

If we substitute  

y

=

0

, we get:

0

=

3

x

+

5

Let's now rearrange and solve for  

x

to calculate the  

x

intercept.

−

5

=

3

x

 

−

5

3

=

x

Therefore, the  

x

intercept cuts through the point  

(

−

5

3

,

0

)

.

Now we have both the  

x

and  

y

intercepts, all we have to do is essentially plot both intercepts on a set of axis and draw a line between them

The graph of the function  

y

=

3

x

+

5

:
