Answer:

No, it is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 2 legs and 1 hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is 76 because it is the largest number. And the two legs are 73 and 26. Now to find if it is a right triangle we will take 73 and multiply it by itself, which is 5,329. Now we will do the same with 26 and we get 676. Then we add 676 to 5,329 and we get 6,005. Because we are trying to find the hypotenuse, we have to find what number when squared makes 6,005. Since 76 x 76 = 5,776 it is not a right triangle.

Here is an image of the triangle:

Explain the effect that "h" has on the function f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k.

saw5 [17]

The expression given by f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k is a the equation of a vertex where (h,k) is the vertex. The importance of h is that it represents the x-intercept, the lowest or the highest point of the graph of the expression. This is a very important factor when determining the turning points of parabolas

sue stacked one box onto another. the bottom had the height of 2 1/3 feet and the top box had the height of 3 2/3 feet. how tall

Scilla [17]

Height of bottom box : - $2 \frac{1}{3} => 7/3$
Height of top box : - $3 \frac{2}{3} => 11/3$

Thus, height of two boxes =

$\frac{7}{3} + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{18}{3} => 6ft$

How many L of A 90% saline solution must be mixed with 4 L of a 50% saline solution to make a 74% solution ?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

6 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two solutions:

1st solution is 90% saline solution. Let the volume of this solution be $x$ litres.

2nd solution is 50% saline solution. Volume of this solution = 4 L

Resultant solution is 74% saline.

To find:

The volume of 1st solution = ?

Solution:

Total volume of the 74% saline mixture = (4+ $x$ ) Litres

We can write equation here, as per the percentage of saline in the mixtures.

90% of $x$ L + 50% of 4 L = 74% of ( $x$ +4)

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{90x}{100} + \dfrac{50}{100}\times 4 = \dfrac{74}{100}\times (x+4)\\\Rightarrow 90x + 200 = 74x+296\\\Rightarrow 90x-74x = 296-200\\\Rightarrow 16x = 96\\\Rightarrow x = \bold{6\ L}$

Therefore, the volume must be 6 L.
