Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we know that
so we can get the 2 outside of the radical
and we can get the x^2 outside too.
and we also can get y outside.
so we have:
Triangle ABC has sides with lengths of 11, 18, and 8 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle.
1 answer:
Answer:
Not a right triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
If this triangle is a right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem would work on it. According to the Pythagorean theorem, , so c would always be greater than a or b. In this scenario, the greatest number here is 18, so c = 18. Since a or b don't matter if given both legs, we have the following equation that may or may not be equal:
. We know 8 squared is 64, and 11 squared is 121, and 18 squared is 324. This means that
according to the Pythagorean theorem, and since 64 + 121 = 185, and 185 does not equal 324, the Pythagorean theorem does not work and the triangle is not a right triangle.

Question 1:
<h3>Answer: The number does <u>not</u> change</h3>Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to in scientific notation.
Personally I prefer the zero up front to make the decimal point stand out easier. Of course it's just a preference, so its up to you to decide which you prefer.

Question 2:
<h3>Answer: Yes the number changes</h3>Taking the zero out of 10.25 leads to 1.25 which is definitely a different number (and smaller). Therefore, this zero is a significant digit compared to before.
