Assuming only the lengths of the sides of a triangle are given, how can you determine if the triangle has a right angle?

1 answer:

7 0

By the Pythagorean Theorem, the lengths of the sides of a triangle satisfy $a^2+b^2=c^2$ if the triangle is a right triangle (in which case the angle between sides a and b is the right angle).

The Ford family decides they want to go see a movie at the local movie theater. The family consists of two adults, and five chil

Brrunno [24]

Ford Family consists of:

a) 2 adults

The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38

b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.

Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39

c) 2 children below the age of 2.

Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14

The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91

In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.

find the angle between the vectors. (first find the exact expression and then approximate to the nearest degree. ) a=[1,2,-2]. B

SashulF [63]

Answer:

$\theta = cos^{-1} (\frac{10}{\sqrt{9} \sqrt{25}})=cos^{-1} (\frac{10}{15}) = cos^{-1} (\frac{2}{3}) = 48.190$

Since the angle between the two vectors is not 180 or 0 degrees we can conclude that are not parallel

And the anfle is approximately $\theta \approx 48$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case first we need to calculate the dot product of the vectors, and after this if the dot product is not equal to 0 we can calculate the angle between the two vectors in order to see if there are parallel or not.

a=[1,2,-2], b=[4,0,-3,]

The dot product on this case is:

$a b= (1)*(4) + (2)*(0)+ (-2)*(-3)=10$
