Answer:

A is not a right triangle

B is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

6^2 = 36
12^2 = 144.

36 + 144 = 180

15^2 = 225

180 ≠ 225, so it is not a right triangle

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5^2 = 25

12^2 = 144

25 + 144 = 169

13^2 = 169

169 = 169, so it is a right triangle

Ben and winston ade both selling cookie dough for a fundraiser. Although ben has already sold 10tubs, Winston

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day, Ben (B) starts with 10 tubs and Winston (W) starts with 0 tubs.

After the first day, Ben sells 8 tubs per day while Winston sells 9 tubs per day.

Therefore we can write the following equation: (Where d = number of days)

B = 10 + 8d

W = 0 + 9d = 9d

We are told that eventually they will sell the same amount which means

B = W

This means we can say,

10 + 8d = 9d

If we subtract 8d from both sides we get

10 = d

Therefore it will take 10 days for them to sell the same amount of cookie dough.

Fill in the missing term in the equation

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the LHS so it can be equated to the RHS.

$\frac{x}{x^{2} -4x+4} - \frac{x}{x^{2} -3x+2}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2} } - \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}$

$\frac{x(x-1)-x(x-2)}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x^{2} -x-x^{2}+2x }{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

Hence, the missing term in the numerator of the answer is <u>x</u>
