If x and y are positive numbers with x>y, show that a triangle with sides of lengths 2xy, x^2-y^2, and x^2+y^2 and is always

a right triangle?

Answer: 2xy

Step-by-step explanation: We know that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 must be the longest side of the triangle (it cannot be 2xy, I will demonstrate why afterwards). By the Pythagorean theorem,

. Therefore this is a right triangle.

The only "assumption" we had to make was that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E+2xy, but this is easy to prove. By the AM-GM inequality, %28x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%29%2F2+%3E=+sqrt%28x%5E2y%5E2%29+=+xy. Multiplying both sides by 2, x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E=+2xy. Equality occurs only when x+=+y, but this cannot be true, so x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 is strictly greater than 2xy.

the constant of proportionality is always the point_______, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can fi
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables say x and y are proportional let us assume y dependent variable and x independent variable

then we have y =kx

Here k is called the constant of proportionality.

Whenever x increases/decreases by 1 unit, the y value also increases/decreases by k units.

Whenever x=1, y =k

and always \frac{y}{x} =k

Thus we can fill up as

the constant of proportionality is always the point___(1.k)____, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can find the constant of proportionality by finding the ratio of___y to x____, for any point on the___graph of the function.___.

In the diagram below, ΔABC is inscribed in circle P. The distances from the center of circle P to each side of the triangle are
4vir4ik [10]
Supposing the sides with 6 and 8 is a right angle, you can create a new line from C and P, and find the length using the equation of a²+b²=c² or 6²+8²=c², with c equaling the radius of the circle.

After finding c, you will have to find the length from C to the midpoint of AC, using the same equation a²+b²=c². If both the lengths of C to the midpoint of AC, and A to the midpoint of AC are equal, you can do b+b to find the length of AC.

Using the same approach, you can find AB. Hope this makes sense, if not, I can clarify more.
