Complete Question:

Jocelyn said that the triangle below is not a right triangle. Her work is shown below. Explain what she did wrong, and show Jocelyn the correct solution.

We need to check if 27² + 45² = 36² is a true statement. The left side of the equation is equal to 2,754. The right side of the equation is equal to 1,296. That means 272 + 452 = 362 is not true, and the triangle shown is not a right triangle

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Jocelyn used a wrong equation and statement.

Here's what she should have stated and done.

Using the converse of Pythagorean Theorem, which says that a triangle with sides a, b, and c is a right triangle if it satisfy the statement: a² + b² = c².

Where, c is the hypotenuse which is the longest leg. While a and b are the side lengths of the other two legs.

Therefore, in this case,

c = 45

b = 27

a = 36

Thus, what we need to check to be true would be:

36² + 27² = 45² (this is where Jocelyn made a mistake. Jocelyn wrote 27² + 45² = 36² rather)

Let's check if it's true.

2,025 = 2,025 (this is true)

Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:1

Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

-2*x+5-(7)<0

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Pulling out like terms

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-2x - 2 = -2 • (x + 1)

Equation at the end of step

1

:

STEP

2

:

2.1 Divide both sides by -2

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2 Subtract 1 from both sides

x > -1

Inequality Plot :

2.3 Inequality plot for
