Which line segment could create a right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C) 18, 24, 30

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure this out, use Pythagorean theorem since it's a right triangle.

Remember that the legs are shorter than the hypotenuse but when added together are longer. In this case, the two smaller values are the legs and the longer value is the hypotenuse.

A) 24, 30, 35

24² + 30² = 35²

576 + 900 = 1225

1476 = 1225 ; NOT true

B) 12, 18, 30

12² + 18² = 30²

144 + 324 = 900

468 = 900 ; NOT true

C) 18, 24, 30

18² + 24² = 30²

324 + 576 = 900

900 = 900 ; TRUE

D) 18, 24, 35

18² + 24² = 35²

324 + 576 = 1225

900 = 1225 ; NOT true

Therefore, C is the only one that works

The price of a sweater was reduced from $20 to $12.By what percentage was the price of the sweater reduced?
Katen [24]

The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction

Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8

Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.

Cost by which sweater was reduced=  \frac{8}{20}* 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40

So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.

Coplanar means that points lie in the same plane. Since A, E, and D all lie on the back wall, they are coplanar.

Given △ABC≅△JKL, m∠B=55°, and m∠L=25°, what is the measure of ∠J?
8_murik_8 [283]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span><J = 100
</span><span>because they are similar they have the same angles
</span>The two triangles are similar, so they must have corresponding angles. Thats one way to define similarity, it can dilate (zoom in /zoom out) , but the angles are preserved. You can also define similarity in terms of the proportionality of the sides. 

"Given △ABC≅△JKL"

The order of the letters counts. 
<A = <J
<B = <K
<C = <L

<span>now you can draw two generic triangles, which have the same three angles, but label the angles accordingly, so they match up.
</span>
<span>then by correspondance we can fill in
</span>nightowlthe third angle can be found by the fact that 
the three angles must add up to 180.

What is the perimeter of this shape?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

87 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Two of the sides here are unknown. The one on the leftmost side is equal to 9, since on the other side it also has a length of 9 feet. The section on the top right has a length of 30-9-9=12 units. Adding all of these values together now, you get a total perimeter of:

30+9+12+9+9+9+9=87 feet

Hope this helps!
