Answer:

(a) Side lengths

RS = \sqrt{5}     ST = \sqrt{17}    RT = \sqrt{18}

(b) Slope

RS = \frac{1}{2}      RT = 1      ST = -4

(c) Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

R = (2,3)

S = (4,4)

T = (5,0)\\

Solving (a): Length of each side

This is calculated using distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

So, we have:

RS = \sqrt{(4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}

RS = \sqrt{5}

ST = \sqrt{(5 - 4)^2 + (0- 4)^2}

ST = \sqrt{17}

RT = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (0 - 3)^2}

RT = \sqrt{18}

Solving (b): The slope of each side

This is calculated using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

So, we have:

RS = \frac{4- 3}{4- 2}

RS = \frac{1}{2}

RT = \frac{0 - 3}{5- 2}

RT = \frac{ - 3}{- 3}

RT = 1

ST = \frac{0 - 4}{5- 4}

ST = \frac{- 4}{1}

ST = -4

Solving (c): Classify the triangle

In (a), we have:

RS = \sqrt{5}

ST = \sqrt{17}

RT = \sqrt{18}

None of the sides are equal;

The triangle is scalene

never [62]
0.75 (1/2x) = 60

60/3 is 20, which is 25% of her remaining money,
So her total remaining money is $80.

Then 80 x 2 = 160

Please Help! I will give you the brainiest and a lot of points!
posledela

Answer:

1. 23/20 miles, 2. 7/20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Total distance = 3/4 + 2/5

= (3*5)/(4*5) + (2*4)/(5*4)

= 15/20 + 8/20

= 23/20

= 1 3/20 miles

2. Difference between walked miles and jogged miles = 3/4 - 2/5

= 15/20 - 8/20

= 7/20 miles
