Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2. So since the longest side is the hypotenuse, the 82 in. is the hypotenuse. 18^2+80^2= 6724, then we square root it, square root of 6725 is 82.

Answer:

This is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check this using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

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

18^2 + 80^2 = 82^2

324+6400=6724

6724 = 6724

True, so this is a right triangle

Most likely number 3
we can guess the average of the two since we don't have the time to actually add all of them and divide and number 3 describes it the most

Consider the following system of equations:

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

"Line y = −2x + 3 intersects line y = x − 5."

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

When the system of equations are graphed, they would intersect at a point.
This means that there is a solution to the system. The solution is $(\frac{8}{3} ,-\frac{7}{3} )$ .
While the statement that the lines intersect the x-axis is true, the question asks the statement that describes the <em>solution</em>.
The solution is the point of intersection between the two lines.
