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

Andy is buying carpet squares for his living room. the length of the room is 20 feet, and the width is 16 feet. each carpet squa
butalik [34]
For this case, the first thing you should do is find the area of the room. We can assume that the room is a rectangle, then the area will be:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting the values we have:
 A = (16) * (20)
 A = 320 feet ^ 2
 We note that each carpet covers only 4 feet ^ 2.
 Therefore the number of carpets will be:
 N = (320) / (4)
 N = 80
 Answer: 
 andy will need to buy 20 carpet squares to cover the room

Rubber balls are packaged in a box with dimensions 8.5 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

42.9 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box= (base x width x height) = 8.5 x 5 x 5 = 212.5 cm^3

Radius of a ball = 1.5 cm

Volume of a ball = 4/3 * radius^3 * pi = 4/3 x 1.5^3 x pi = 14,137167 cm^3

Volume of the balls = 14,137167 x 12 = 169,646003 cm^3

Final answer = 212.5 - 169,646003 = 42.9 cm^3

kompoz [17]

Answer: [911,∞)


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: S be the number of cans collected by Shane.

Since,  Abha collected 178 more cans than Shane did.

Then, the number of cans collected by Abha = S+178

Also, Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling.

So, S+178+S\geq2000

\\\Rightarrow\ 2S\geq2000-178\\\Rightarrow2S\geq1822\\\Rightarrow\ S\geq911

Hence, the solution set of the inequality will be [911,∞)
