Answer:
No, this is not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor of two means you need to multiply the original length by 2:
9 x 2 = 18
The new length would be 18 cm.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Square all three numbers. If the largest number squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, then the numbers form a Pythagorean triple.
<u><em>or</em></u>
Since a Pythagorean triple is three positive integers a, b, and c such that (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2), first take the sum of the squares of the two legs and make an estimate. For example, 3, 4, and 5 is a Pythagorean triple since 9+16=25
<u><em>either one works</em></u>
Answer: ∠ J = 62° , ∠ K = 59° , ∠ L = 59°
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that it is an Isosceles Triangle, where L J ≅ K J
It follows that ∠ K ≅ ∠ L
⇒ 5x + 24 = 4x + 31
⇒ x + 24 = 31
⇒ x = 7
Input the x-value into either equation to solve for ∠ K & ∠ L:
∠ K = 5x + 24
= 5(7) + 24
= 35 + 24
= 59
∠ K ≅ ∠ L ⇒ ∠ L = 59
Next, find the value of ∠ J:
∠ J + ∠ K + ∠ L = 180 Triangle Sum Theorem
∠ J + 59 + 59 = 180
∠ J + 118 = 180
∠ J = 62
