Brian says that ABCD is a right triangle. Is he correct? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number) Explain.

Answers
21.7²=17²+13.5²
21.7²=289+182.25
21.7²=471.25
21.7=√471.25
21.7=21.7
22(to the nearest whole number)
Answer: Yes, it is a right triangle
But only if you rounded everything to the nearest whole number.
Otherwise, it's a bit off (but fairly close).
==========================================================
Explanation:
If that was a right triangle, then a^2+b^2 = c^2 would be the case (pythagorean theorem). The a,b,c refers to the sides of the triangle. The 'c' is always the longest side, where 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
We have
a = 13.5b = 17c = 21.7Which leads to
a^2+b^2 = c^2
(13.5)^2+(17)^2 = (21.7)^2
182.25 + 289 = 470.89
471.25 = 470.89
We don't get the same thing on both sides, so we don't have a right triangle.
However, your teacher mentions to round the results to the nearest whole number. The 471.25 on the left side becomes 471, while the 470.89 becomes 471.
So while the equation 471.25 = 470.89 is definitely false, both sides are close enough that they round to 471 = 471 which is true.
In other words, this isn't a right triangle but it's close enough to one. Based on this rounding criteria, Brian is correct.

Brette got a new phone! The length of her old rectangular phone screen was 44 centimeters. Her new rectangular phone screen is twice as long as the old screen. How much larger is the area of the new screen than the area of the old screen?
Answers
Answer:
2 times larger
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
assume width = 10
older area = 44 x 10 = 440
new area
length = 44 x 2 = 88
88 x 10 = 880
change in area = 880 / 440 = 2

Round your answer to one decimal digit. The volume of a cylinder is 1 800 cm3. If the height of the cylinder is 40 cm then the diameter of the cylinder is
Answers
Answer:
7.57 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
π = 3.14
r= radius
h = height
1,800 = 3.14 x r² x 40
r² = 1800 /(3.14 x 40)
r² = 14.33121
√14.33121 = r
r = 3.785658 cm
the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.
A radius is half of the diameter
Diameter = 2 x 3.785658 cm = 7.57cm
A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out the maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar. y=-2x^2+105x-859 y=−2x 2 +105x−859
Answers
Answer:
$519
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the amount of profit made expressed as y=-2x^2+105x-859
At maximum profit, dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = -4x + 105
0 = -4x + 105
4x = 105
x = 105/4
x = 26.25
Substitute into the original function
y=-2x^2+105x-859
y=-2(26.25)^2+105(26.25)-859
y = - 1,378.125+2,756.25-859
y = 519.125
Hence the maximum amount of profit the company can make is $519

Answers
Answer:
x = 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
In a square PQRS, PQ = 2x +3 cm and QR = 3x – 5 cm.
We need to find the value of x.
In a square, all the sides are equal. So,
PQ = QR
2x +3 = 3x – 5
3+5 = 3x - 2x
x = 8
So, the value of x is equal to 8 cm.

C(___,___)
C(___,___)
(b) You will be offered the opportunity.
C(___,___)
C(___,___)
Answers
Answer:
Probability of 100 managers being selected= 100C100*1100C800/1200C900
Probability of selecting just one manager = 1C100*1199C899/1200C900
Explanation:
Given 100 managers, 200 factory workers, 900 miscellaneous workers, and workers bring transferred 900
To find probability of 100 managers leaving given that probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes
We use combination since order doesn't matter:
Combination formula= n!/r!(n-r)! Where n= total number of outcomes and r is number of outcome at one time and ! is factorial
Probability of 100 managers using nCr formula for each item = 100C100*1100C800/1200C900
Probability of 1 manager also applying nCr formula as above =1C100*1199C899/1200C900
The probability is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events. The probabilities are as follows;
a. P = ¹⁰⁰C₁₀₀ × ¹¹⁰⁰C₈₀₀ / ¹²⁰⁰C₉₀₀
b. P = ¹⁰⁰C₁ × ¹¹⁹⁹C₈₉₉ / ¹²⁰⁰C₉₀₀
What is probability?Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen.

A boat travel 45 miles in three hours at this rate how many miles with a boat travel in half an hour
Answers
Answer:
7 1/2 miles per half hour
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find how many miles you travel per hour. To find that, you divide 45 by 3. This gives you 15 miles per hour. Now we need to find how many miles in half an hour. To do this we are going to convert into minutes. We need to find out how many miles per minute. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we will divide 15 by 60. That gives 0.25, or 1/4 mile per minute. So now that we know how many miles per minute, we can find out how many for half an hour. Half an hour is 30 minutes, so we are going to multiply 1/4 by 30. You will get 15/2. We need to make that a mixed number, and that gives us 7 1/2 miles per 30 minutes, or 7 1/2 miles per half hour.
I hope this helped :)
(edit: I just realized I did this the hard way. Sorry. The easier way would be to just divide 15 by 2 since it would take two halves of 15 to make the amount of miles per hour.)
