Answer: No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
3 hours and 20 minutes minus 1 hour and 48 minuets equals an hour and 32 minutes. There are 60 minuets in an hour and 60 divided by 32 is 0.53. This means that your final answer is:
D. 1.53
dividing both sides by -4, we get:
this means, each term is its previous term divided by -4.
now we can construct the sequence as follows:
Answer: the last term is -1/32
