We can find the solution to the answer by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

a² + b² = c²

4² + 6² = 8²

16 + 36 = 52

8² = 64

52 ≠ 64.

Since 4² + 6² does not equal 8², a triangle with the sides 4, 6, and 8, are not a right triangle.

Answer:

No it's not

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle the longest side is always the Hypotnuse. With legs a and b and Hypotnuse c, all right triangle follow the Pythagoream Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2)

If this is a right triangle then it should also follow this rule.

8^2=4^2+6^2

64=16+36

64≠52

So this isn't a right triangle

What is the solution to this equation 1/2n^2+18=0

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

n = ±6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is given to us and we need to find out the solution of the given equation . The given equation is ,

$\rm\implies -\dfrac{1}{2}n^2+18=0$

Subtracting 18 both sides ,

$\rm\implies -\dfrac{1}{2}n^2 = -18$

Multiplying both sides by -2 ,

$\rm\implies -2\times\dfrac{1}{2}n^2 = -2\times -18$

On simplyfing , we get ,

$\rm\implies n^2= 36$

Putting squareroot both sides ,

$\rm\implies n= \sqrt{36}$

This equals to ,

$\rm\implies \boxed{\quad\blue{\rm n =\pm 6 }}$

Hence the value of n is ±6 .

What is a histogram?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a diagram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.

explanation: A histogram is a chart that shows frequencies for. intervals of values of a metric variable. Such intervals as known as “bins” and they all have the same widths. The example above uses $25 as its bin width. So it shows how many people make between $800 and $825, $825 and $850 and so on.

Find the value of x in the figure below

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this because they give you 78 degrees. The angle across from it (3x - 9) must equal 78 degrees as well. So solve as (3x - 9) = 78. 78 + 9 is 87. 87 divided by 3 is 29.

Hope it helps and is correct!
