Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagorus theorum: a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}
24^{2} +32^{2} = 1024+576
= 1600
40^{2} = 1600
thus, it can be concluded that these lengths can be the sides of a right-angled triangle.
Answer:
1) Change the length of side AB to 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that both structures are similar, it follows that the ratio of their corresponding lengths are equal.
To find out what should be the correct length of AB that she should change to, set up the proportion showing the ratio of 2 corresponding lengths of both structures. Thus:
We will assume AB is unknown.
PR = 7.5 ft
AC = 2.5 ft
PQ = 6 ft
Plug in the values into the equation
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 7.5
The architect should change the length of AB to 2 ft
The next term in this fraction sequence is 1/3.
To find the next term in this sequence, we can start by converting all of the fraction into a common denominator (so we can compare them better). The least common denominator for all of these number is 12. Now we can convert them all to something over 12.
To convert 2/3 to something over 12, we must find what form of one we must multiply 3 (the denominator) by to get 12. 12/3 is 4, so we must multiply by 4/4. This gives us 2/3 = 8/12.
Since 7/12 is already over twelve, we can just leave it alone.
To convert 1/2 to something over 12, we need to find what we have to multiply 2 by to get 12. 12/2 is 6, so now we need to multiply 1/2 by 6/6, which gives us 1/2 = 6/12.
5/12 is already over twelve, so we can just leave it alone.
Now we need to put them back in order. We have:
8/12, 7/12, 6/12, 5/12... Just by looking at them, we can see that the denominators are getting smaller by 1. That means that the next term in the sequence will be less than the previous one by 1/12. What term is less than 5/12 by 1/12? 4/12 is. But, that's not our answer. We can simplify 4/12 to get our answer of 1/3.
Answer:
1/8 is the bigger fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
When comparing fractions with different denominators, and the numerator is one, like 1/8. The one with the smaller number for the denominator is greater.
You could also compare them by finding common denominators, so for 1/8 and 1/9, a common denominator would be /63. So you would take 
and multiply that by 
. You would then get 
. When you take 
times 
you get 
. So when comparing you can see that 1/8 is greater than 1/9.
Answer:
f(x) = -3(x - 5)^2 + 4
vertex (5,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -3x² +30x - 71
f(x) = -3(x² +-10x) - 71
f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2-5^2) - 71
f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2) -3(-5^2) - 71
f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2) + 4
f(x) = -3(x - 5)^2 + 4
vertex (5,4)
