Use the distance formula, show that the points (4,0), (2,1), and (-1,-5) form the vertices of a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute the coordinates of the points.

A(4,\ 0),\ B(2,\ 1),\ C(-1,\ -5)\\\\AB=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(1-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{4+1}=\sqrt5\\\\AC=\sqrt{(-1-4)^2+(-5-0)^2}=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-5)^2}=\sqrt{25+25}=\sqrt{50}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-5-1)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-6)^2}=\sqrt{9+36}=\sqrt{45}

If a ≤ b < c are the sides of the right triangle, then

a² + b² = c²

\sqrt5

used (\sqrt{a})^2=a for a ≥ 0.

AB^2+BC^2=AC^2 therefore ΔABC is a right triangle.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

\frac{2520}{64}  {ln}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

V=L×W×H

=3½in×1⅞×2¾

=3×2+1/2in × 1×8+7/8in × 2×4+3/4in

=7/2in × 15/8in × 24/4in

=2520/64 incube

so it's you tern to change into mixed fraction

sorry for that

but if it's helpful ❤❤

THANK YOU

In math i have to find the percent cost of 6 prices but i'm not sure how to.
tresset_1 [31]
My answer got deleted for some reason, so here we go again. To convert a number to a percent, you multiply the number by 100. So if you had the number 2.4, you would multiply it by 100 to get 240%. After multiplying it by 100, simply add a percent sign, and you're done!
