Answer:

Yes, the student can use three of these sticks to make a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of four sticks = 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches and 6 inches.

Now, in a right angled triangle, by PYTHAGORAS THEOREM the three sides of the triangle base, perpendicular and hypotenuse are in the given following relation :

$(Base)^{2} + (Perpendicular)^{2} = (Hypotenuse)^{2}$

Now, here among all four sticks

$(3)^{2} +(4)^{2} = 9 + 16 = 25$

and $25 = (5)^{2}$

So, there exists three sticks of length 3 in, 4 in and 5 inches which satisft Pythagoras Theorem , such that:

$(3)^{2} + (4)^{2} = (5)^{2}$

So, the required length sticks are 3 inches, 4 inches and 5 inches.

Hence, the student use three of these sticks to make a right triangle.

Is 1/2 greater than 4/5

Law Incorporation [45]

For this question you should know:
1/2 = 5/10
and
4/5 = 8/10
so you can see 8/10 is greater than 5/10 so the answer is no
4/5 is greater than 1/2 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Answer:

-5/ (x^19 * y^12)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x^-10 * y ^ -3 * x^-9 * y^-9/3 (It's writing it like this.)

15 and 3 have a GCF of 3.

-5x^-10 * y^-3 * x^-9 * y^-9/1

Reduce similar occurrences. *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 + (-9)) * y^(-3 + (-9))/1
