A triangle has sides with lengths of 8 millimeters, 15 millimeters, and 17 millimeters. Is it a right triangle?

Answer:

yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this answer, use the pythagoras theorem. the pythagoras theorem states that a² + b² = c².

to see if this is a right angled triangle, we will use this formula, as the pythagoras theorem only works for right angled triangles.

we are going to work out c, which is always the hypotenuse. the hypotenuse is the longest side of a triangle, that is larger than the other values. we know that the hypotenuse of this triangle is 17, so let’s see if that’s the answer we get.

calculation:

a² + b² = c²

a = 8 millimetres

b = 15 millilitres

c = ?

8² + 15² = c²

64 + 225 = c²

64 + 225 = 289.

289 = c²

√289 = c

√289 = 17.

the pythagoras theorem correctly identified the length of the hypothenuse. as i said earlier, this theorem only works on right angled triangles, therefore, this triangle is right angled.

Maritza esta vendiendo una bicicleta seminueva que ya no utiliza. Como le costo doscientos soles, incluido IGV, ahora la venderá
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Ok, primero, como lo deducimos gráficamente?

Sigamos estos pasos.

Dibujemos en una recta, la distancia entre el punto 0 soles y el precio de la bicicleta = 200 soles.

200 soles representa el 100%.

Ella lo quiere vender al 80% (o le quiere restar el 20%).

Entonces, con una regla, medir la distancia entre 0 soles y 200 soles.

Dividir esa cantidad por 10. (cada una de estas cantidades va a representar un 10%)

Multiplicar eso por 8.

Esa cantidad es el equivalente al 80% del precio de la bicicleta.

Abajo hay un dibujo donde se ve el método.

Una forma mas matemática de resolverlo es:

200 soles = 100%.

x soles = 80%

x es el precio al que ella va a vender la bicicleta:

Veamos el cociente de esas dos ecuaciones:

200/x = 100%/80%

x = 200*(80%/100%) = 160

Ella vendería la bicicleta en 160 soles.
