Answer:

Number of dimes = 16

Number of quarters = 17

====================================================

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = number of quarters

d+q = 33 coins total, this solves to d = 33-q

10d = value of all the dimes in cents

25q = value of all the quarters in cents

10d+25q = 585 cents total

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

Plug in d = 33-q and solve for q

10d+25q = 585

10(33-q) + 25q = 585

330-10q+25q = 585

15q+330 = 585

15q = 585-330

15q = 255

q = 255/15

q = 17

The man has 17 quarters

d = 33-q = 33-17 = 16

He also has 16 dimes.

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

Check:

16 dimes + 17 quarters = 33 coins total

16 dimes = 16*10 = 160 cents

17 quarters = 17*25 = 425 cents

160 cents + 425 cents = 585 cents

The answer is confirmed.

Triangle ABC has sides with lengths of 11, 18, and 8 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle.​
Arturiano [62]

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, a^2+b^2=c^2, 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: 8^2+11^2=18^2. We know 8 squared is 64, and 11 squared is 121, and 18 squared is 324. This means that 64+121=324 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.
