Paladinen [302]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, considering that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two smaller sides is equals to the square of the length of the greater side, the triangle is a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two smaller sides is equals to the square of the length of the greater side.

so it is a right triangle.

Need help on this question writing linear equations
Mrrafil [7]

if you look at delta y over x, you'll notice it always equals 2

i.e (22-2)/10-0 = 20/10 = 2

or (14-2)/6-0 = 12/6 = 2

or even (22-8)/10-3 = 14/7 = 2

This means that m (slope) is 2.

Now as for b. b is the y intercept and that value occurs when x = 0. On the table, when x = 0 y = 2 so b = 2.

y = mx + b becomes

y = 2x + 2

WXY is a right triangle. <br><br> A. True. <br> B. False.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. False


Step-by-step explanation:

According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of  square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).

So  (\sqrt{34} )^{2}  should equal  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}

  • <em>We also know that  (\sqrt{a} )^{2}=(\sqrt{a})(\sqrt{a})=a</em>

Hence,  (\sqrt{18} )^{2}+(\sqrt{18} )^{2}=18+18=36  , and

(\sqrt{34} )^{2}=34

They ARE NOT EQUAL, so the triangle is NOT a right triangle.

John made a rectangle pen for his dog using 28 feet of fencing. If the width of the pen is 2 feet more than one-half the length,
kati45 [8]
Okay, so you know that the perimeter of the pen is 28 feet. Now we need the separate side lengths.

P = 28 ft.
Length = x
Width = (1/2)x + 2

So now we can plug in the little equations of length and width into a perimeter formula:
 2(x) + 2((1/2)x + 2) = 28
Distribute the 2's and solve as needed.
2x + x + 4 = 28
3x + 4 = 28
3x = 24
x = 8

To find the width, just plug in 8 for x in our little equation:
(1/2)(8) + 2
= 6

So, the length is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Initial Amount=1

Decay Factor=0.99987

Decay Rate=0.013%

Step-by-step explanation:

If P = 0.99987ᵃ

I. Initial amount

The initial amount is when a=0

P = 0.99987⁰ = 1

The Pressure at Sea Level=1

II. Decay factor

This is like the decay constant. From the model, P = 0.99987ᵃ, the decay constant/factor is 0.99987.

III. Decay Rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Expressed in Percentage = 0.013%
