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 of the following lines is perpendicular to the line Y = 3x -4
andriy [413]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is perpendicular to another, their slopes will be opposite reciprocal. For example, 1 would be -1, -3 would be \frac{1}{3} , and \frac{5}{1} would be -5. The equation is written in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m is the slope, so find the equation with the opposite reciprocal of 3, -\frac{1}{3}:

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+4 is the only option with the correct slope, so the answer is D.

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. triangle 1 has points at a (negative 3, 4), b (negative 2, 1), c (negative 4, 1).
Vikki [24]

The rule which represents the translation from the pre-image (Δabc), to the image (Δa'b'c') is (x, y) → (y, x).

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle simply refers to a two-dimensional geometric shape that comprises three (3) sides, three (3) vertices and three (3) angles only.

Based on this triangle, we can deduce the following points:

  • The coordinates of a are given by (-3, 4).
  • The coordinates of a' are given by (4, -2).

By critically observing the triangle, we can also deduce that points were swapped as (x, y) → (y, x) and this is a reflection across line y = x.
