A triangle has side measures of 8, 13, 15. Are these the measures of a RIGHT Triangle?

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the side lengths of the triangle, we can figure out whether or not this is a Pythagorean triple.

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are both smaller than c.

So,

8^2 = 64.

13^2 = 169.

15^2 = 225.

64 + 169 = 233.

233 is not equal to 225.

Therefore, this is not a right triangle.

A wall is 20 feet long and requires 1,470 bricks to build. How high is the wall?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The height of wall is 10.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bricks to build = 1470

Length of wall = 20 feet

We need to find the height of wall.

As we know that

Bricklayer's formula is given by

$N=7LH\\\\1470=7\times 20\times H\\\\1470=140\times H\\\\\dfrac{1470}{140}=H\\\\10.5\ ft=H$

Hence, the height of wall is 10.5 feet.

Find the zero of the function below:<br> f(x) = 4x + 12

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zero, let f(x) = 0, that is

4x + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 3 ← is the zero
