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.

How do we know what sign goes outside of the bracket when factoring binomials?
Xelga [282]
I'm assuming you're asking about negative or positive signs here. When I factor binomials, it depends on what would make factoring simpler for me. And how you're factoring the binomial too.

More often than not, it's going to be positive. For example, 4x^2 - 2x = 0. That would factor out to be 2x(2x-1) = 0. The sign outside is going to be positive because it's simpler to solve that way. Here, x is equal to 0 and equal to 1/2. Taking out a negative in this case would complicate the solving process.
