Use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to decide whether ΔABC is a right triangle by answering the questions.

Answer:

1. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find AD. Show your work.

AD=9

Side BD=12, and side AB=15. We know that side AB is the hypotenuse, so AD^2+144=225

225-144=81, so side AD=9

2. Find AC. Show your work.

AC=25

To find AC, we can add AD and DC

9+16=25

3. Is ΔABC a right triangle? Explain.

ABC is a right triangle because AB^2+BC^2=AC^2

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1. we have to find a. b is 12 and c is 15 because the right angle is pointing towards 15 so that is the hypotenuse. then we simply plug the info in the equation we have above.

a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2

a^2 + 144 = 225

a^2 = 81 --> sqaure root to find the answer basically.

a = 9

- we put AD as a so AD = 9

final answer : 9

2. to find AC, simply add AD and DC.

9 + 16 = 25

final answer: AC = 25

3. ABC is not a right triangle because it does not have a right angle. the smaller triangles do, but that does not mean that ABC is a right triangle.

-- let me know if you need any further explanations.

puteri [66]

Answer:

a. z = 2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable is "Points per game of a high school team"

The hypothesis is that the average score per game is greater than before, so the parameter to test is the population mean (μ)

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ ≤ 99

H₁: μ > 99

α: 0.01

There is no information about the variable distribution, I'll apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the sample mean (X[bar]) to normal since whether you use a Z or t-test, you need your variable to be at least approximately normal. Considering the sample size (n=36) I'd rather use a Z-test than a t-test.

The statistic value under the null hypothesis is:

Z= X[bar] - μ  = 101 - 99 = 2

σ/√n 6/√36

I don't have σ, but since this is an approximation I can use the value of S instead.

I hope it helps!

Can you guys help me with this?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The leghts of AB is 9 because both of the triangles are symmetrical. But also, this is a Equilateral triangle, which means that both of the sides are the same lengths (AB=AC)

Fran has 7 sheets of paper for a colouring project. If she only uses 1/3 of a sheet of paper per drawing how many drawings can s
Sav [38]
So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.

Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.
