Answer: Choice B
12.5 < x < 18.9
================================================
Explanation:
We have a triangle with these side lengths:
- a = 10
- b = 16
- c = x = unknown
Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.
By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need 
to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.
So,
Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.
Using the same theorem as before, we would say,
We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9
This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9
Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
<em /><u><em /></u>I think that both lines will show only 1 line because 1 line will be on top of the other. I believe this because both lines are dilated with its center at point O which does not lie on line n. Whatever dilation Andre uses may also be the dilation used by Becca since their lines centered at point O. Both lines will have the same slope and share the same coordinates.
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
In a right triangle longest side is hypotenuse and the remaining two sides represent the perpendicular legs.
Hence, from the given question it is obvious that 25 is hypotenuse and 20 and 15 are perpendicular legs.
Now, by Pythagorean theorem:
2)
Because all right triangles have one hypotenuse and two perpendicular legs.
