Answer:

5² + 12² = 13²

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the 3 sides of a right angled triangle. These are the opposite side, hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.

The theorem states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the opposite side and the adjacent side is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse such that mathematically,

a² + b² = c²

where a and b are the lengths of the opposite and adjacent side and c is the length of the hypotenuse

Considering the numbers 5, 12 and 13,

5² + 12² = 25 + 144

= 169

= 13²

Hence

5² + 12² = 13²

The numbers 5, 12 and 13 can be used to correctly identify the sides of a right triangle, and this can be proven by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

5² + 12² = 13²
25 + 144 = 169
169 = 169

5 and 12 are the legs, and 13 is the hypotenuse. Hopefully this is what the question is asking. :)

Select the two statements that are true about the equation y−56=4(x+5)y-56=4(x+5).

Sergio [31]

The correct answers are:

The slope of the line is 4.

A point on the line is (−5, 56)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$y-56=4(x+5)$

The slope-intercept form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Comparing both equations we get

m = 4

$y-56=y-y_1\\y_1 = 56\\x+5 = x-x_1\\x_1=-5$

The point is (-5,56)

So, the correct answers are:

The slope of the line is 4.

A point on the line is (−5, 56)

Camille knew that a triangle had one side with a length of 16 inches and another side with a length of 20 inches. She did not kn

SSSSS [86.1K]

The unknown side is 9. Because 9 x 5= 45, 45 being the perimeter, that is 5 times the unknown side. And 45 is the sum of 9, 16, and 20.

Laurissa rolls two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 through 6. Laurissa adds the numbers that appear in the roll. Which two

defon

Answer:

Let's analyze the possible sums of both dices, i will use the notation:

Dice1 + Dice 2 = sum.

also remember that we have 2 dices, with 6 options each.

So the total number of combinations is 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible outcomes.

I will start at the extremes, the minimum that we can sum is 2, and the maximum is 12, then:

We can have 2 if:

1 + 1 = 2

only one permutation.

and 12 if:

6 + 6 = 12

Again, only one permutation.

so 2 and 12 have the same chance (1 out of 36)

now, to have 3 we can have:

2 + 1 = 3

1 + 2 = 3.

and to have 11

5 + 6 = 11

6 + 5 = 11

Again, 3 and 11 have the same probability (2 out of 36 options)

And now we can see a pattern.

4 and 10 will have the same chance.

5 and 9 will have the same chance

6 and 8 will have the same chance

7 is the only number that has an unique chance (and it has the largest one)
