Answer:

It is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Information needed:

Formula: a^2+b^2= c^2

a: leg

b: leg

c: hypotenuse

the longest side is always the hypotenuse, so 17 in

the order of legs don't matter so 8 in and 15 in

Solve:

a^2+b^2= c^2

8^2+15^2= 17^2

64+225= 289

289= 289

Final answer:

It is a right triangle

It is a RIGHT TRIANGLE

pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

if
a=8
b=15
c=17
then it is a right triangle:

8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225=289
289=289

therefore, it is a right triangle

Todd is 81 years younger than Rosa. 3 years ago, Rosa’s age was 4 times Todd’s age. How old is Todd now?
Delvig [45]
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30

Todd is 30 now.

_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
