A right triangle must satisfy this equation: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a= shortest length
b=medium length
c=the longest length
a triangle with sides 4,5,6 will satisfy not this equation because:
4^2 + 5^2 ≠ 6^2
16+25 = 41
41 ≠ 36
so the answer is C.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
48:76 would be 48/76 which would reduce to 12/19.
20:4 would be 5/1 reduced or just 5.
For slope, people sometimes use the description 'rise divided by run'. We know that the y axis describes rise, and the x axis describes run. So rise divided by run written numerically is 
. Now let's look at the line above. We can see that every time the y value goes up one unit, the x value goes right two units. This means that [tex]\frac{y}{x} --> \frac{y + 1}{x + 2}
This can be rewritten as 1/2, so the is 1/2. Hope this helped.
Do you mean an extraneous solution? I will tell you what I think. To tell if a solution is extraneous you need to go back to the original problem and check if there actually is a solution or if the solution is actually right. If not then it is extraneous.
