The answer to, Is the Triangle with side lengths of 10 in., 24 in., and 26 in, a right triangle is: Yes. For right triangles, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides is equal to the square of the longer side. Thus, this is a right triangle if 10^2+24^2=26^2. Expanding these squares, we have 100+576=676, which is true. Thus, the triangle is right.
You have 2 apples, get 3 more, and then lose 2 of them.
So, you HAVE 2 apples, and if you get 3 more, you can add it to the 2.
In total at the moment, you have 5 apples. Now, you lose 2 more. We can subtract that from our total number of apples.
We now know that you are left with
3 apples.
Answer:
There are 8 inventors.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let 's' be the salesperson
Given that there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors.
Also given that the whole company has 27 employees.
i.e.
s + i = 27
substituting s = 3+2i
3 + 2i + i= 27
3 + 3i = 27
3i = 27 - 3
3i = 24
divide both sides by 3
i = 8
- Thus, there are 8 inventors.
<u>VERIFICATION</u>
As the total number of employees is 27.
so the salespeople will be:
s = 3+2i
= 3 + 2(8)
= 3 + 16
= 19
Thus, the total employees are verified as:
s + i = 27
19 + 8 = 27
27 = 27
