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.

Find an approximate equation y=ab^x with the coordinates (0, 4) (3, 95)
bogdanovich [222]
We have y=ab^{x}

Plug in (0, 4):
4=ab^{0}⇒4=a
So we now have a

Plug in (3, 95):
95=4b^{3}
⇒b^{3}=\frac{95}{4}
⇒b=\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}}
which is approximately 2.874

So we get
y=4(\sqrt[3]{\frac{95}{4}})^{x}
or, in decimal form,
y=4*2.874^{x}

Simplify the expression <br> 7y+3x+3-2y+6
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

5y + 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever something is multiplied by the same variable, you can combine the coefficients. In this case, first you'd move the values with the same variable next to each other, for simplicity:

7y-2y+3x+3+6

Then, combine like terms.

5y+3x+3+6

5y+3x+9
