Answer:

D. No, because the given numbers do not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c²

Step-by-step explanation:

For the set of numbers; 24, 20, 32, to form a pythagorean triple, they must satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².

Where, c is the longest side (hypotenuse), while a and b are the two other legs.

Let's find out.

a = 20, b = 24, c = 32

Plug in the value into the equation

20² + 24² = 32²

976 = 1,024 (this is not true).

976 is not equal to 1,024.

The set of given numbers does not form a pythagorean triple because it does not satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry solved this equation:

$3(x-\frac{1}{4})=\frac{13}{6}$

In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis

1. $3x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}$

In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides

2. $3x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}+\frac{3}{4}$

In step 3, we take LCD 12

3. $3x=\frac{26}{12}+\frac{9}{12}$

In step 4, add the fractions

4. $3x=\frac{35}{12}$

Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.

$\frac{3}{1}x=\frac{35}{12}$

In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.

Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{1}x=\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{35}{12}$

$x=\frac{35}{36}$

In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3

5. Find the mZABC if<br> ZABD = 35°, ZDBC = 55º.

Reika [66]

Answer:

$m\angle ABC=90^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

$m\angle ABC=m\angle ABD+m\angle DBC$ ----> by angle addition postulate

substitute the given values

$m\angle ABC=35^o+55^o=90^o$

The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby tt months after birth can be modeled by the function W(t)=1.25t+6.W(t)=1.25t+6. What is

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$6$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby $t$ months after birth can be modeled by the function $W(t)=1.25t+6$ .

TO FIND: What is the y-intercept of the function and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem.

SOLUTION:

in $W(t)=1.25t+6$

if $t=0$

$W(0)=6$

Hence y-intercept is $6$

the y-intercept in this represents the weight of baby just after he is born.

One circular table has a diameter of 8 ft, and another circular table has a diameter of 12 ft. How much greater is the area of t

mezya [45]

Answer:

20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of table with diameter 8 ft = π*8^2/4 = 16π

Area of table with diameter 12 ft = π*12^2/4 = 36π

Difference between the area of the tables ;

= 36π - 16π

= 20π sq ft ≈ 62.83 sq ft ( π = 3.14)
