<h3>Answer: C) scalene</h3>

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

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to calculate the distance from R to S. This is identical to the length of segment RS.

R = (x_1,y_1) = (-3,-1) \text{ and } S = (x_2, y_2) = (0,3)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-0)^2 + (-1-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{25}\\\\d = 5\\\\

Segment RS is exactly 5 units long.

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

Repeat similar steps to find the length of segment ST

S = (x_1,y_1) = (0,3) \text{ and } T = (x_2, y_2) = (3,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-3)^2 + (3-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 9}\\\\d = \sqrt{18}\\\\d \approx 4.2426\\\\

ST is roughly 4.2426 units long.

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

Lastly, let's calculate the length of segment TR.

T = (x_1,y_1) = (3,0) \text{ and } R = (x_2, y_2) = (-3,-1)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-(-3))^2 + (0-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3+3)^2 + (0+1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{36 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{37}\\\\d \approx 6.0828\\\\

TR is about 6.0828 units long.

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

Summary of the segment lengths:

  • RS = 5 exactly
  • ST = 4.2426 approximately
  • TR = 6.0828 approximately

The three sides are different lengths.

Therefore, the triangle is <u>scalene</u>.

Which of the following inequalities has a solution x≥−3
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: 3(x-1) becomes 3x -3 ≤ 4x. Put all like variables on the same side, meaning you'll subtract 3x from both sides giving you -3 ≤ x. You can flip the equation around to make it look exactly like x ≥ -3

How many tiles would I need to by if each tile was 2ft by 2Ft and the square footage was 69X69
valina [46]
This is the formula you would use to calculate how many tiles you would need.

# of tiles you need = Total square footage ÷ square footage of each tile 


Total square footage: 69x69 = 4761 square feet
Square footage of each tile = 2x2 = 4 square feet

# of tiles you need =
4761 ÷ 4 = 1190.25 

You will need 1190.25 tiles.

Generate the nest three terms of each arithmetic sequence shown below.
o-na [289]

Answer:

A)2,6,10

B)2,-6,-18

C)-1,-3,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>A)a1=-2 and d=4</u>

We know that the arithmetic sequence formula is

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

Now

a_{2}=a_{1}+(2-1)d

a_{2}=a_{1}+(1)d

Substituting the given value we get

a_{2}= -2+(1)4

a_{2}= -2+4

a_{2}= 2

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

Similarly

a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d

a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d

Substituting the given value we get

a_{3}= -2+(2)4

a_{3}= -2+8

a_{3}= 6

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

a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d

a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d

Substituting the given value we get

a_{4}= -2+(3)4

a_{4}= -2+16

a_{4}= 10

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

<u>B</u><u>  a_n=a_{(n-1)}-8  with a_1=10</u>

a_2=a_{(2-1)}-8

a_2=a_{1}-8

Substituting the given value

a_2= 10-8

a_2=2

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

a_3=a_{(3-1)}-8

a_3=a_{2}-8

Substituting the  value

a_3=2-8

a_3= -6

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

a_4=a_{(4-1)}-8

a_4=a_{3}-8

Substituting the  value

a_4= -6-8

a_4= -14

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

<u>C) a_1=3, a_2=1</u>

Here the difference is -2

the arithmetic sequence formula is

a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

Now

a_{3}=a_{1}+(3-1)d

a_{3}=a_{1}+(2)d

Substituting the value we get

a_{3}= 3+(2)-2

a_{3}= 3-4

a_{3}= -1

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

a_{4}=a_{1}+(4-1)d

a_{4}=a_{1}+(3)d

Substituting the value we get

a_{4}= 3+(3)-2

a_{4}= 3-6

a_{4}= -3

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

a_{5}=a_{1}+(5-1)d

a_{5}=a_{1}+(4)d

Substituting the value we get

a_{5}= 3+(4)-2

a_{5}= 3-8

a_{5}= -5
