Which statement best explains whether Lara’s step is correct or incorrect?
A. It is correct because the length of the unknown side is the difference of the lengths of the sides
B. It is correct because the length of the unknown side is the difference of the squares of the sides
C. It is incorrect because the length of the unknown side is the square root of 42,073

Answer:

D. It is incorrect because the length of the unknown side is the square root of 7,225

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

132^2 + b^2 =157^2

17424 +b^2 =24649

Subtract 17424 from each side

17424-17424 +b^2 =24649 - 17424

b^2 =7225

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b) = sqrt(7225)

b = 85

Find the sum of the first 6 terms in the sequence -5 -25 -125 -625
sashaice [31]
This is a geometric sequence, so use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
Sum = (a(r^n - 1))/(r - 1)
where a is the first term, -5
r is the common ratio, 5
and n is the number of terms

Thus,
Sum = ((-5)(5^6 - 1))/(5-1) = -19530
