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.

The lcm of 165xy and 77x 3 y is _____. 1,155x 3y 11xy 12,705x 4y 2 105x 3y
trapecia [35]
The least common multiple (LCM) can be determined by factoring out the terms first,
                             165xy = (3)(11)(5)(x)(y)
                              77x³y = (7)(11)(x)(x)(x)(y)
Copy the factors writing off the repeated factors only once,
                        LCM = (3)(11)(5)(x)(y)(7)(x)(x)= 1155x³y
The answer is 1155x³y (first choice)

Two planes that are traveling toward each other are 720 miles apart. One plane is traveling 40 miles per hour faster than the ot
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

y = 460 miles per hr

x = 500 miles per hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the planes be X any

Let their speeds be xmiles/hr and ymiles/hr respectively

x = y + 40 (assuming X is faster by 40miles/hr)

Distance travelled by X to meet Y = 0.75x

Distance travelled by Y to meet X = 0.75y

0.75x + 0.75y = 720 --------1

Put x = y + 40 in eqn 1

0.75(y+40) + 0.75y = 720

0.75y + 30 + 0.75y= 720

1.5y = 690

y = 460 miles per hr

x = 460 +40

= 500 miles per hr
