Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, so the triangle is a right triangle.
7.5² +10² = 12.5²
56.25 +100 = 156.25
_____
You may recognize that the ratios of side lengths are ...
7.5 : 10 : 12.5 = 3 : 4 : 5
A 3-4-5 triangle is a well-known right triangle, as this is the smallest set of integers that satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. They also happen to be consecutive integers, so form an arithmetic sequence. Any arithmetic sequence that satisfies the Pythagorean theorem will have these ratios.
_____
If you're familiar with trigonometry, you know the law of cosines tells you ...
c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(θ) . . . . where θ is the angle between sides a and b. This reduces to the Pythagorean theorem when θ=90°, which makes cos(θ)=0. If the sides do not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, cos(θ)≠0 and the triangle is not a right triangle.
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1

Answer:
option 4.
16 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
as we do not have the measures of the sides, but if the points of the vertices with Pythagoras we can calculate the sides.
P = (2 , 4)
S = (4 , 2)
we have to subtract the values of p from s
PS = (4 - 2 , 2 - 4)
PS = (2 , -2)
by pitagoras h ^ 2 = c1 ^ 2 + c2 ^ 2
h: hypotenuse
c1: leg 1
c2: leg 2
PS^2 = 2^2 + -2^2
PS = √ 4 + 4
PS = √8
PS = 2√2
S = (4 , 2)
R = (8 , 6)
SR = (8-4 , 6-2)
SR = (4 , 4)
by pitagoras h ^ 2 = c1 ^ 2 + c2 ^ 2
h: hypotenuse
c1: leg 1
c2: leg 2
SR^2 = 4^2 + 4^2
SR = √ (16 + 16)
SR = √32
SR = 4√2
having the values of 2 of its sides we multiply them and obtain their area
PS * RS = Area
2√2 * 4√2 =
16
