Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that two of the numbers are only 2 apart, hence CB and CA, and the other one, AB, or the bottom side, is way less.

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to be a right triangle, it must follow pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse (long side of triangle).

A squared + B squared = C squared

6 squared + 8 squared = 100

Since we squared our addends, we must find the square root of 100 (which is 10)

Since 10 is one of the side lengths for the hypotenuse since it is the longest, and we got 10 from pythagorean theorem, we know it is a right triangle.

Hope this helps you. Have a great rest of your day.

You are giving 24 linear feet of fencing all 3 feet tall you wish to make the largest rectangular enclosure possible to maximize

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The largest area enclosed is A = xy = 6 feet $\times$ 6 feet = 36 $feet^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

i) The perimeter of the area is 2 $\times$ (x + y) =24 ∴ x + y = 12 ∴ y = 12 - x

ii) The area of rectangle enclosed A = xy ⇒ A = x ( 12 - x) = 12x - $x^{2}$

iii) differentiating both sides of the equation in ii) we get

$\dfrac{dA}{dx} = 12 - 2x = 0$ ⇒ x = 6 feet

iv) Differentiating both sides of equation in iii) we get $\frac{d^{2}A}{dx^{2} }$ = -2

Therefore the area enclosed is maximum as the double derivative is negative

v) therefore for largest area enclosed x = 6 feet and y = 12 - 6 = 6 feet

vi) therefore the largest area enclosed is

A = xy = 6 feet $\times$ 6 feet = 36 $feet^{2}$

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=1/3x-7

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1/3, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Before answering this, I will need to assume that you actually meant

y = (1/3)x - 7. Comparing this to y = mx + b, we see that the slope, m, is 1/3 and the y-intercept, b, is -7.
