Answer: No, it is not a right triangle.

===================================================

Let

  • a = 5
  • b = 8
  • c = 12

Let's see if a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. If so, then we have a right triangle.

a^2 = 5^2 = 25

b^2 = 8^2 = 64

a^2+b^2 = 25+64 = 89

c^2 = 12^2 = 144

We see that a^2+b^2 = 89, but c^2 = 144. So a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a false equation when (a,b,c) = (5,8,12). Therefore, this is not a right triangle.

Side note: Because c^2 is larger than a^2+b^2 in this case, this means we have an obtuse triangle.

A circular race track has a radius of 200 feet a car drives 50 laps around the track approximately how many miles does the car t
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

  11.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the track is ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(200 ft) = 400π ft

Then the length of 50 laps will be ...

  50C = 50·(400π ft) = 20,000π ft ≈ 62,831.9 ft

The number of miles (m) this is can be found from ...

  m(5280 ft) = 62,831.9 ft

  m = 62,831.9/5280 ≈ 11.90 . . . . miles

50 laps is about 11.9 miles.

Dalton when to high school at 11 yrs and 3 months he left high school at 18 yrs and 2 months old how long did Dalton spend in hi
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton were in high school at the age = 11 years and 3 months                       He left high school at the age = 18 years and 2 months

Time spent by Dalton in high school = 18 years 2 months - 11 years and 3 months

= (18 - 11) years and (2 - 3) months

= 7 years - 1 month

= (6 + 1) years - 1 month

= 6 years + 1 year - 1 month

= 6years + 12 months - 1 month

= 6 years + 11 months

Therefore, Dalton spent 6 years and 11 months in high school.

Please help I'll give the brainiest to the right answer!
Anna [14]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because vertical angles are always equal, we want to solve 50x+10=70x-10.

We can add 10 to both sides to get 50x+20=70x.

We can subtract 50x from both sides to get 20=20x.

Lastly, we divide both sides by 20 to get 1=x.

So, \boxed{x=1} and we're done!

The check is left as an exercise to the reader.
