Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if they are Pythagorean triples they should check for the theorem
the biggest value 17/8 should be the hypothenuse
(17/8)² = 1² + (15/8)² ; square the numbers
289/ 64 = 1+ 225/ 64 ; find the common denominator for addition
289/ 64 = 64+ 225/ 64 ; add
289/ 64 = 289 /64 TRUE so they are Pythagorean Triples
Answer: x= 58°
explanation: interior angles of all triangles add up to 180.
Let;
A(-8,6) B(6,6) C(6, -4) D(-8, -4)
Let's find the length AB
x₁= -8 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=6
We will use the distance formula;
![d=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28x_2-x_1%29%5E2%2B%28y_2-y_1%29%5E2%7D)
![=\sqrt[]{(6+8)^2+(6-6)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%286%2B8%29%5E2%2B%286-6%29%5E2%7D)
![=\sqrt[]{14^2+0}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B14%5E2%2B0%7D)
Next, we will find the width BC
B(6,6) C(6, -4)
x₁= 6 y₁=6 x₂=6 y₂=-4
substitute into the distance formula;
![d=\sqrt[]{(6-6)^2+(-4-6)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%286-6%29%5E2%2B%28-4-6%29%5E2%7D)
![=\sqrt[]{(-10)^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28-10%29%5E2%7D)
![=\sqrt[]{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B100%7D)
Area = l x w
= 14 x 10
= 140 square units
Area of one square = 2 x 2 = 4 square feet
4 square feet x 6 squares = 24 square feet total area
Answer: 24 square feet
