Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean triple (8, 15, 17) is often seen in algebra and geometry problems. You recognize it as choice A, so you know that is a right triangle.

A spreadsheet or graphing calculator can perform the tedium of comparing the sum of squares of the shorter sides to the square of the longer side. The attachment shows a spreadsheet used for that purpose. It identifies the triple (8, 15, 17) as the sides of a right triangle.

Answer:

(6, 8, 10) right
(8, 15, 17) right
(5, 12, 13) right

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to memorize a few of the Pythagorean triples that show up in Algebra problems. Their multiples also form right triangles.

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17), (9, 40, 41)

The triple (6, 8, 10) is the first one of these, multiplied by 2 inches.

The only triple that is a sequence of consecutive integers is (3, 4, 5), so you know immediately that (4, 5, 6) does not form a right triangle.

Of course, you can check any of them to see if the squares of the smaller two numbers total the square of the larger number:

4² +5² = 16 +25 = 41 ≠ 6² . . . . . (4, 5, 6) is not a right triangle

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem may be solved by a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the number of small boxes used

y is the number of large boxes used

There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped

This means that y = 2x

Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.

This means that 45x + 80y =1435

So we have to solve the following system:

y=2x

45x + 80y =1435

45x + 80 (2x) = 1435

205x = 1435

x= 1435/205

x=7

y=2x= 2(7) = 14

There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.

Let a=3/5 and let b=2/3. Compute a^2b^-3.

Amanda [17]

Answer: 81/100

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't guarantee you I am right but..

first, solve for the exponents after substituting the numbers in

3/5 x 3/5 is 9/25

since b's exponent is negative, you change the fraction into its reciprocal and then do it with the exponent but positive

2/3^-3 to 3/2^3 and 3/2 x 3/2 is 9/4

then you mutiply both numbers to get 9/4 x 9/25 is 81/100
