Does 2, 5, and 7 make a right triangle

Mathematics

MakcuM [25]2 years ago

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).

Suppose you invest $500 at an annual interest rate of 8.2% compounded continuously. How much will you have in the account after
Marianna [84]
Here is the formula that your going to need to use A=P(1+r/n)^nt
  So P=500, R=0.082, N=1, T=15
 Plug it into your equation and you have A=500(1+0.082/1)^(1)(15)
 Simplify what's in the parenthesis A=500(1.082)^(1)(15)
 Multiply your exponents A=500(1.082)^15 Then A=500(3.26)
 Finally you multiply your last two numbers to get A=1,630
 So after 15 years you would have $1,630
I hope this helped you :)
