The lengths of sides of a triangle have to satisfy the triangle inequality, which states that the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.
Here 9+8=17 (not greater), so these segments do not form a triangle.
A triangle can only have at most one right angle.
Here's a proof that shows why this is so:
We know that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180.
Let's say the interior angles are A, B, and C
A + B + C = 180
Let's show that having two right angles is impossible
Let A = B = 90
90 + 90 + C = 180
180 + C = 180
Subtract 180 from both sides
C = 0
We cannot have an angle with 0 degrees in a triangle. Thus, it is impossible to have 2 right angles in a triangle.
Let's try to show that it's impossible to have 3 right angles
Let A = B = C = 90
90 + 90 + 90 = 180 ?
270 ≠ 180
Thus it's impossible to have 3 right angles as well.
Let's show that is possible to have 1 right angle
Let A = 90
90 + B + C = 180
Subtract both sides by 90
B + C = 90
There are values of B and C that will make this true. Thus, a triangle can have at most one right angle.
Have an awesome day! :)
Insert 3x - 7 for y in 15x - 5y = 14
15x - 5(3x - 7) = 14
15x - 15x + 35 = 14
0 = -21
There is no solution.
If the number on the right of the number you're trying to round is greater than 5, round it up. If the number on the right of the number you're trying to round is less than 5, round down.
So you're trying to round to the nearest whole number, look on the number on the right, it's bigger than 5, it's a 7. Therefore, round the whole number up so it would be 7.
