Which set of numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The first set: 8, 15, and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the pythagorean theorem, a triangle is a right triangle if and only if

$\text{longest side}^2 = \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

In this case,

$\text{longest side}^2 = 17^2 = 289$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 8^2 + 15^2\\ &=64 + 225 = 289 \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, indeed $\text{hypotenuse}^2 = \text{first leg}^2 + \text{second leg}^2$ . Hence, 8, 15, 17 does form a right triangle.

Similarly, check the other pairs. Keep in mind that the square of the longest side should be equal to the sum of the square of the two

Factor out the common factor $2$ to simplify the calculations.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 20^2 = 400$

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 10^2 + 15^2\\ &=100 + 225 = 325 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = (2\times 11)^2 = 2^2 \times 121$ .

$\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= (2 \times 6)^2 + (2 \times 9)^2\\ &=2^2 \times(36 + 81) = 2^2 \times 117 \end{aligned}$ .

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

$\text{longest side}^2 = 11^2 = 121$ .

<h3> $\begin{aligned}&\text{first shortest side}^2 + \text{second shortest side}^2 \\ &= 7^2 + 9^2\\ &=49+ 81 = 130 \end{aligned}$ .</h3>

$\text{longest side}^2 \ne \text{first shorter side}^2 + \text{second shorter side}^2$ .

Hence, by the pythagorean theorem, these three sides don't form a right triangle.

What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence 1.5, 1.2, 0.96, 0.768

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

To determine the common ratio of a geometric sequence. You just need to divide any two consecutive terms on it. You can see below that all of them have the same quotient.

1.2 / 1.5 = 0.8

0.96 / 1.2 = 0.8

0.768 / 0.96 = 0.8

.

Decimal form = 0.8

Fraction form = 4/5

.

Check:

1.5 x 0.8 = 1.2

1.5 x 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 = 1.2

Therefore, the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence? 1.5, 1.2, 0.96, 0.768 is 0.8 or 4/5.

Elizabeth company has 10,000 units of their new product in warehouse. They sold 10,000 in pre-order that will need to be shipped

nalin [4]

Answer:

m = 300w OR w = m/300

Step-by-step explanation:

They start with 10k, but that's immediately sold, so they're back at a flat 0. Every week they gain 1000 but lose 700 for a net profit of positive 300.

Therefore, the maximum capacity would be 300 multiplied by the number of weeks. If we know the maximum, then the answer would be m (maximum) divided by 300.
