Answer:

No, $9^2 +7^2 \neq 12^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9^2 +7^2 = 81+ 49 =130...(1)$

$12^2 = 144...(2)$

From equations (1) & (2) it is obvious that:

$9^2 +7^2 \neq 12^2$

Thus, the given is not a right triangle.

Solve the equation -3 + 1/2n = 1/2 (-n + 14) in two different ways.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 + 1/2n = 1/2 (-n + 14)

distribute

-3 + 1/2n = -1/2n + 7

-1/2n

cancel out -1/2n

-3 = n + 7

-10 = n

subtract 7

n = -10

Find the missing side lengths

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

y = 9√3

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

taking 30 as reference angle

b = y

p = 9

h = x

tan30 = p/b

1/√3 = 9/b

or, b = 9√3

$h^2 = p^2 + b^2\\x^2 = 9^2 + y^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + (9\sqrt{3} )^2\\or, x^2 = 81 + 243\\or, x ^2 = 324\\or, x =\sqrt{324} \\\\so x = 18$
