Which best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 2 in., 5 in., and 4 in. is an acute triangle?
2 answers:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the given short sides would be 2² +4² = 20. So, that hypotenuse would be √20, about 4.47. The long side of this triangle is longer than that, so the angle opposite is larger than 90°. The triangle with sides 2, 4, 5 is an obtuse triangle.
The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²

Step-by-step explanation:
The question is wrong. The correct equation is :
We know that the equation gives the relation between temperature readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Therefore, giving that we know the value in Fahrenheit ''F'' we can find the reading in Celsius ''C''. This define a function C(F) that depends of the variable ''F''.
So for the incise (a) we answer Yes, C is a function of F.
For (b) we need to find the mathematical domain of this function. Giving that we haven't got any mathematical restriction, the mathematical domain of the function are all real numbers.
Dom (C) = ( - ∞ , + ∞)
For (c) we know that the water in liquid state and at normal atmospheric pressure exists between 0 and 100 Celsius.
Therefore the range will be
Rang (C) = (0,100)
Now, we need to find the domain for this range. We do this by equaliting and finding the value for the variable ''F'' :
For C = 0 :
⇒
And for C = 100 :
⇒
Therefore, the domain as relating temperatures of water in its liquid state is
Dom (C) = (32,212)
For (d) we only need to replace in the equation by and find the value of C ⇒
⇒
≅ 21.67
C(71) = 21.67 °C
