Tell whether the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle

Answer:

not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that If a triangle is a right triangle,

the hypotenuse^2 will equal to shorter^2 + longer^2

hypotenuse = 18, shorter side = 4, longer side = 17

18^2 = 4^2 + 17^2

324 = 16 + 289

324 = 305

That is false, therefore the triangle is not a right triangle

Paul and jose are trying to measure the height of a tree. paul is standing 19m from the foot of the tree and measures the angle
Nina [5.8K]
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as x.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:
cos(59)= \frac{19}{h}
h= \frac{19}{cos(59)}
h=36.9
Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance x between Paul and Jose:
\frac{sin(43)}{36.9} = \frac{sin(16)}{x}
x= \frac{36.9sin(16)}{sin(43)}
x=14.9

Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:
19m+14.9=33.9m

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.

Y/a −b= y/b −a, if a≠b<br><br> solve for y
Kamila [148]

Answer:

y= ab    if a≠b

Step-by-step explanation:

y/a −b= y/b −a

multiply each side by ab to clear the fractions

ab(y/a −b) = ab( y/b −a)

distribute

ab * y/a - ab*b = ab * y/b - ab *a

b*y - ab^2 = ay -a^2 b

subtract ay on each side

by -ay -ab^2 = ay-ay -a^2b

by -ay -ab^2 =-a^2b

add ab^2 to each side

by-ay -ab^2 +ab^2 = ab^2 - a^2b

by-ay = ab^2 - a^2b

factor out the y on the left, factor out an ab on the right

y (b-a) = ab(b-a)

divide by (b-a)

y (b-a) /(b-a)= ab(b-a)/(b-a)    b-a ≠0   or b≠a

y = ab
