3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For 3 side lengths of a triangle to form a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the 2 smaller side lengths must be equal to the square of the largest side. (a² + b² = c²)

Since 1² + 2² =/= 5², (5 =/= 25)

it will not form a right triangle.

Another Explanation:

Since 5 > 1 + 2, the sum of the 2 smaller side lengths is less than the largest side. Hence it will not form a triangle => not form a right triangle.

A pole that is 3.1 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.18 m long.At the same time , a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 35.75 m lo

Georgia [21]

Answer:

94 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a proportion:

3.1 / 1.18 = x / 35.75

Cross multiply and solve:

1.18x = 3.1 × 35.75

1.18x = 110.825

x ≈ 94

Rounded to the nearest meter, the height of the tower is approximately 94 meters.

Is F(x)= X^2(X^2+9)(X^3+2X) even or odd

dexar [7]

Answer:

The function is odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is even if the graph of the function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. A function is odd if the graph of the function is symmetric with respect to the origin. To find if the function is even or odd, we're going to graph the function using DESMOS.

As you can see in the attached picture, the function is symmetric with respect to the origin. Therefore, the function is odd.
