Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides then the triangle is right.

longest side = 15 , then 15² = 225

9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225

Thus the sail is a right triangle.

In order to test if it’s a right triangle, we can try to apply Pythagorean theorem, which is x^2+y^2=z^2
Plug in the values: 9^2+12^2=15^2 to get 81+144=225
By far we can tell that this formula works, meaning that the sail is a right triangle.

Which statement best describes the area of Triangle ABC shown below?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

  It is one-half the area of a rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

One side of the triangle is on the line y = 2 between points x=2 and x=6. So, that side has length 6-2 = 4.

The opposite vertex has y-value 5, so is 3 units away from the line y = 2.

The area of the triangle can be considered to have a base of 4 and a height of 3. In the formula ...

  A = (1/2)bh

we find the area to be ...

  A = (1/2)×(4 units)×(3 units) . . . . triangle area

__

A rectangle's area is the product of its length and width. So, a rectangle that is 4 units by 3 units will have an area of ...

  A = (4 units)×(3 units) . . . . rectangle area

Comparing the two area formulas, we see that the triangle area is 1/2 the area of the rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units.
