A triangle has sides with lengths of 72 miles, 85 miles, and 36 miles. Is it a right triangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Your answer is: No, it is not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine if a triangle is a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Let's label the sides of the triangle:

Side A = 72 miles

Side B = 85 miles

Side C = 36 miles

To check if it's a right triangle, we can compare the lengths of the sides using the Pythagorean theorem:

1. Calculate the squares of the lengths of Side A and Side B:

- A^2 = 72^2 = 5184

- B^2 = 85^2 = 7225

2. Calculate the square of the length of Side C:

- C^2 = 36^2 = 1296

3. Check if the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides (A^2 + B^2) is equal to the square of the longest side (C^2):

- A^2 + B^2 = 5184 + 7225 = 12409

- C^2 = 1296

Since A^2 + B^2 is not equal to C^2 (12409 ≠ 1296), we can conclude that the given triangle is not a right triangle.

Really need help lol...Kristin lives in Alaska. She drives a car with a 12-gallon fuel tank. When Kristin fills her empty gas tank in Alaska, she has to pay a federal gasoline
tax of $.18 (or 18 cents) per gallon, plus a state gas tax of 8 cents ($.08) per gallon. Her taxes paid for a gallon of gas equal 26 cents.

You can calculate the percentage of a purchase that goes to taxes by dividing the tax amount by the total sale price. If Kristin buys gas at $3.69 per gallon, which includes all taxes, what percentage of the price is the state tax? What percentage is the federal tax?

Answers

The first sentence in the second paragraph tells you exactly
how to work this exercise.

For every gallon:

Total sale price = $3.69

State tax = $0.08
Fraction that goes for state tax =

   (0.08 / 3.69) = 0.0217 = 2.17 % .

Federal tax = $0.18
Fraction that goes for federal tax =

   (0.18 / 3.69) = 0.0488 = 4.88 % .

Extra info that's not asked for:

Total amount of the sale price that goes for taxes =

   2.17% + 4.88% = 7.05 % .

Check that: (0.18 + 0.08) / (3.69)

   = ( 0.26 / 3.69 ) = 0.0705 = 7.05 %    yay!

If y varies inversely as x and y = 18 when x = 4, what is y when x = 24?a.12
b.6
c.3
d.16

Answers

The answer is C. Try 18=k/4. 18*4=72. Take 72/24=3.

The answer is 3.
y=k/x
18=k/4
k= 72
when x is 24
y=72/24
=3

A rectangle has a width of 10 centimeters. The rectangle's length is 4 times its width. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

100 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a rectangle has a width of 10 centimeters. The rectangle's length is 4 times its width.

The length of rectangle would be $4* 10\text{ cm}=40\text{ cm}$ .

We know that perimeter of rectangle is 2 times the sum of length and width of rectangle.

$\text{Perimeter of rectangle}=2(\text{Length+Width)}$

$\text{Perimeter of rectangle}=2(\text{10 cm+ 40 cm)}$

$\text{Perimeter of rectangle}=2(\text{50 cm)}$

$\text{Perimeter of rectangle}=100\text{ cm}$

Therefore, the perimeter of our given rectangle would be 100 cm.

If it's width is 10cm then it's legth has to be 40cm. So 10+10+40+40=100cm Perimeter
