The most efficient way of finding the answer to this question is first reducing 10-24-26 and comparing it with the first 5 combinations for right-angled triangles:

First, reduce 10-24-26 by dividing it by the GCF (greatest common factor). 

10-24-26 divided by its GCF, 2, is:  5-12-13

Now comparing it with the first 5 combinations for right-angled triangles:

1)   3-4-5
2)  5-12-13
3)  7-24-25
4)  8-15-17
5)  20-21-29

As you can see, number 2 is the same as our reduced example. Therefore, we know that 10-24-26 is a right triangle. 

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A fair die has 6 sides.

There are 3 odd numbers on a fair die so the probability would be 3/6

There are 4 numbers greater than 2 on a fair die o the probability of that would be 4/6

There is only one number that will make it square and that is 4. So the probability would be 1/6

A farmer has 300 ft of fencing with which to enclose a rectangular pen next to a barn. The barn itself will be used as one of th
Katarina [22]
Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.

For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
