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

Dimas [21]2 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.)

Answer:

SF = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Like the problem hint says, you want to put the new coordinate over the old one to find the scale factor. We'll use both x and y.

-7/-3 = 7/3

14/6 = 7/3

Therefore, the scale factor is 7/3.

Given that 5W = 2P + 3R find the value of P when W = 4 and R = −4
Olenka [21]

Answer:

P = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5W = 2P + 3R ← substitute W = 4 and R = - 4 into the equation

5(4) = 2P + 3(- 4), that is

20 = 2P - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

32 = 2P ( divide both sides by 2 )

16 = P
