Does 2, 5, and 7 make a right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]2 years ago
6 0

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).

You move left 5 units. You end at (-1, 5). Where did you start?
juin [17]

Answer:

(4,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

If you move 5 units to the left, you change the x-value in (x, y) by -5.

Let the original x-value be x:

  • x - 5 = -1
  • x = 4

The original x-value is 4. Since you didn't change the y-value (up/down), you can keep the same y-value for the coordinate.

The original point was at (4,5)
