Answer:

3\sqrt{3} + 72

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.

Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

9 \times 8 = 72ft^{2}

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.

From the question, we have the following ratio:

\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{T}[\tex]But[tex]\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{3}[\tex]Multiplying through by 3S we have27 = S² and this gives:[tex]S = \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3}

I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.

Now the areas of S is 3\sqrt{3}

Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is

3\sqrt{3} + 72

The slope of the line in the graph is
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

the slope of the line in the graph is: 3

the y-intercept is: -4

the equation of the line is: y=3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we find a point on the graph and count it until it reaches other solid point we get that you have to go up three and to the right by one. This solid point I looked at was (0,-4) and counted up to (-1,1). To find the slope, we have to simply count and use "rise over run". The rise is 3 for every 1 we run, making the slope 3/1 which is 3.

the y-intercept is the point on the graph that touches the y-axis on the graph. The only point on the graph that touches the y-axis is -4, making the y-intercept -4.

The equation for a graph is y=mx+b. m would be the slope and b would be the y-intercept. We know that the slope is 3 (m) and that the y-intercept is -4 (b). Putting them together, we get that the equation of the graph is y=3x-4.

A triangle can have at most ________ right angle.
andrey2020 [161]
A triangle can only have at most one right angle.

Here's a proof that shows why this is so:

We know that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180.
Let's say the interior angles are A, B, and C

A + B + C = 180

Let's show that having two right angles is impossible

Let A = B = 90

90 + 90 + C = 180

180 + C = 180

Subtract 180 from both sides

C = 0

We cannot have an angle with 0 degrees in a triangle. Thus, it is impossible to have 2 right angles in a triangle.

Let's try to show that it's impossible to have 3 right angles

Let A = B = C = 90

90 + 90 + 90 = 180 ?

270 ≠ 180

Thus it's impossible to have 3 right angles as well.

Let's show that is possible to have 1 right angle

Let A = 90

90 + B + C = 180

Subtract both sides by 90

B + C = 90

There are values of B and C that will make this true. Thus, a triangle can have at most one right angle.

Have an awesome day! :)
