Answer:

irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem.

5² + 6² = c²

25 + 36 = c²

c² = 61

7² = 49

6² = 64

61 is between 7² and 8², so it is not rational.

Answer:

0.20 dollars/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope actually has units. It has the meaning of 20 cents per mile. The units are cents per mile.

But it can also be 0.20 dollars/mile which is probably the way you should interpret it in a math class. That way it matches the units of the 50 which is for certain in dollars.

BRAINLY!!!- if a=7, b=8, and c=9.2 is this a right triangle? why?

Travka [436]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

If this were a right triangle we would assume the Pythagorean Theorem to prove it

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

$7^{2} +8^{2} =9.2^{2}$

this gives us

49+64=84.64

this is 143=84.64 and therefore not equal and not a right triangle
