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

********PLEASE HELP ****** DVD players are going out of fashion in the modern era. If 400,000 DVD players were sold this year an
abruzzese [7]
So 400,000 DVD sales with a 31% decline means in the 1st year following, there will be a decline of 124,000 DVDs sold. So we need to take 400,000 - 124,000, which equals a starting point for year two is 276,000 DVDs.

So a 31% decline on 276,000 = 85,560. So we need to subtract that from 85,560 from 276,000 which is 190,440. So at the end of the second year, DVD sales were only 190,440.  That's also out starting point of the 3rd year. 

So 31% of 190,440 equals 59,036.4 for the third year of DVD sales. So we need to subtract 59,036.4 from out third year starting point of 190,440, which equals 131,403.6, but since you can't have parts of DVDs, we'll round the decimal point fraction to a whole number to end up with 131,404 DVDs sold in year three.

So after three years of a 31% yearly decline in DVD sales you end up with DVD sales are 131,404

a solid sphere is cut into 3 equal wedges. the volume of each wedge is V=4/9π^3. solve the formula for r
algol13

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow V=\dfrac{4}{9}πr^3

  • It is one third of the solid. sphere

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow V_{(Sphere)}

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow 3\left(\dfrac{4}{9}πr^3\right)

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Now

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow \pi r^3=\dfrac{3V}{4}

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow r^3=\dfrac{3V}{4\pi}

\\ \qquad\quad\sf{:}\dashrightarrow r=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{3V}{4\pi}}
