Answer:
First equation x=2, Y=9, Second Eq, x=2, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y=11
2X-Y=-5 by substitution Y=11-X
So, 2x-(11-x)=-5, 2x-11+x=-5, 3x=6, x=2. Thus, Y=11-2=9
2x+y=5
3x-2y=4
so, y=5-2x
Thus, 3x-2(5-2x)=4
3x-10+4x=4, 7x=14, x=2, Thus, Y=5-2(2)= 1
Answer: No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
Step-by-step explanation:
Any coordinates in the shaded area are solutions. Any coordinates on the line are not a solution due to it being dashed. Anything in the non-shaded area is also not a solution. You can always check if you are right by plugging in the numbers.
Example: (1, -2)
-2 < 0.5(1) + 2
-2 < 0.5 + 2
-2 < 2.5
True, -2 is less than 2.5.
Another Example: (-2, 1)
1 < 0.5(-2) + 2
1 < -1 + 2
1 < 1
False, 1 is not less than itself.
Answer:
Salamander Trail is longer than Great Oak Trail
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The scale of the map is 36 mi = 6 cm
The length of Great Oak Trail = 4.5 cm
The scale of a different map is 24 mi = 3 cm
The length of Salamander Trail = 3.5 cm
Therefore, we have;
The actual length of Great Oak Trail based on the first map is given as follows;
36 mi = 6 cm
6 cm = 36 mi
1 cm = 36 mi/6 = 6 mi
4.5 cm = 4.5 × 6 mi = 27 mi
The actual length of Salamander Trail based on the second map is given as follows;
24 mi = 3 cm
3 cm = 24 mi
1 cm = 24 mi/3 = 8 mi
3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 mi = 28 mi
Therefore, Salamander Trail with an actual length of 28 mi is longer than Great Oak Trail which has an actual length of 27 mi.
