Answer:

  • (6, 8, 10) right
  • (8, 15, 17) right
  • (5, 12, 13) right

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to memorize a few of the Pythagorean triples that show up in Algebra problems. Their multiples also form right triangles.

  (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17), (9, 40, 41)

The triple (6, 8, 10) is the first one of these, multiplied by 2 inches.

The only triple that is a sequence of consecutive integers is (3, 4, 5), so you know immediately that (4, 5, 6) does not form a right triangle.

Of course, you can check any of them to see if the squares of the smaller two numbers total the square of the larger number:

  4² +5² = 16 +25 = 41 ≠ 6² . . . . . (4, 5, 6) is not a right triangle

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

128.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the tower be x feet.

\tan \: 65 \degree =  \frac{x}{60}  \\  \\ 2.1445069205 =  \frac{x}{60}  \\  \\ x = 2.1445069205 \times 60 \\ \\  x = 128.670415 \\  \\ x = 128.67 \: ft

I need assistance!!!!
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because midpoints were used to make similar triangles we can say

AC=2(DE)

5x+12=2(9x-20)

5x+12=18x-40

-13x+12=-40

-13x=-52

x=4

AC=5x+12

AC=5(4)+12

AC=20+12

AC=32

Write the complex number in polar form:
emmasim [6.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2√30 ∠-120°

Step-by-step explanation:

The modulus is ...

  √((-√30)² +(-3√10)²) = √(30 +90) = √120 = 2√30

The argument is ...

  arctan(-3√10/-√30) = arctan(√3) = -120° . . . . a 3rd-quadrant angle

The polar form of the number can be written as ...

  (2√30)∠-120°

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Any of a number of other formats can be used, including ...

  (2√30)cis(-120°)

  (2√30; -120°)

  (2√30; -2π/3)

  2√30·e^(i4π/3)

Of course, the angle -120° (-2π/3 radians) is the same as 240° (4π/3 radians).

__

At least one app I use differentiates between (x, y) and (r; θ) by the use of a semicolon to separate the modulus and argument of polar form coordinates. I find that useful, as a pair of numbers (10.95, 4.19) by itself does not convey the fact that it represents polar coordinates. As you may have guessed, my personal preference is for the notation 10.95∠4.19. (The lack of a ° symbol indicates the angle is in radians.)

Alecia walked 3/10 of a mile from school,stopped at the grocery store on the way, then walked another 4/10 of a mile home.Georgi
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Alecia lives farther from school

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Georgia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is 67/100 of a mile

\frac{67}{100}=0.67\ miles

<em>Alecia</em>

we know that

The distance from the school to her home is

3/10 of a mile plus 4/10 of a mile

so

\frac{3}{10}+\frac{4}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7\ miles

Compare the distances

0.7\ miles>0.67\ miles

therefore

Alecia lives farther from school
