Answer:

  Use the Pythagorean theorem: (5/8)^2 +(3/2)^2 = (13/8)^2 ⇒ right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Check to see if the numbers satisfy the Pythagorean theorem.

  (5/8)^2 + (3/2)^2 = (13/8)^2

  25/64 + 9/4 = 169/64

  25/65 +144/64 = 169/64 . . . . . . . true. The triangle is a right triangle.

__

If a, b, c represent the lengths of the sides, least to greatest, then ...

  a^2 + b^2 > c^2 . . . . acute triangle

  a^2 + b^2 = c^2 . . . . right triangle

  a^2 + b^2 < c^2 . . . . obtuse triangle

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

A triple of integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem (form a right triangle) is called a "Pythagorean triple." One you see often, and that has the special property that it is <em>the only triple that is an arithmetic sequence</em> is (3, 4, 5). A couple of other common ones are (5, 12, 13) and (7, 24, 25).

Any of these can be scaled by a common factor to make sides of a right triangle. Here, we have (5, 12, 13) scaled by a factor of 1/8 to make (5/8, 12/8, 13/8) = (5/8, 3/2, 13/8) — the numbers in the problem statement.

If you're aware of these common triples, you can check to see if they are being used in any right-triangle problem you may run across. Recognizing that one of these applies can save you the effort of working out the squares and/or root that would otherwise be involved.

You made two deposits to your bank account this month. One deposit was $24.61, and the second deposit was $16.49. Your balance a
Rina8888 [55]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

$72.31 – $24.61 – $16.49; $31.21

Explanation:

We know we end the month with $72.31.

We made two deposits during the month and no other activity.  This means if we take the amounts of the deposits away from the total at the end of the month, we can find how much we had at the beginning of the month:

72.31-24.61-16.49 = 31.21
