If a triangle has side lengths 5 cm, 18 cm, and 12 cm, is it a right triangle?

Mathematics

Dimas [21]3 years ago

Answer:

No, it's not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle) is equal to the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides.

2. The longest side in this "triangle" has 18 centimeters, and the other 2 sides are 5 and 12 centimeters.

3. Let's apply the Pythagorean Theorem to see if 5^2 + 12^2 = 18^2

  • 5^2 + 12^2 = 18^2
  • 25 + 144 = 324
  • 169 \neq 324

4. Okay, so the sum of the area of the squares from the two other sides is not equal to the hypotenuse squared, therefore, it's not a right triangle.

(Plus, it's not even a triangle because 7 < x < 17, and the third "side", 18, is not between 7 and 17.)

Find the difference (7a-6b+7) - (8a-2)
olga nikolaevna [1]
Hey there!

Let's set up our expression:

(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)

In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:

7a-6b+7-8a+2

Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:

(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =

-a - 6b + 9

Hope this helps!

Can someone help me please ​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A square's area can be done by using s^2, where s is y in this case.  Because there are 5 squares, the area of the figure is 5y^2.  Because the area is also 180cm, 5y^2=180.

Then divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get y^2 = 36.  Then square root both sides of the equation to get y = 6.

Hope it helps <3

A car's wheels spins at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches. You want to know how fast the car
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

72,220 inches per  minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A car's wheels spins at 1000 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the wheels is 23 inches.

1 revolution = 2\pi radians

\frac{theta}{tome}=\frac{1000 \ revolution}{1 \ minuite} = \frac{1000* 2\pi }{1} =\frac{2000\pi}{1 \ minute}

Speed V= \frac{r*theta}{t}

r is the radius , theta is the angle and t is the time

We know diameter = 23  , then radius = 23/2

Speed V= \frac{23}{2}*\frac{2000\pi}{1}

Value of pi = 3.14

speed = 23000* 3.14= 72220 inches/ minute
