Kate plans to use four triangles like the one shown to form a diamond shape.
For her plan to work, the triangle must be a right triangle.
Determine whether the triangle is a right triangle.

The triangle is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle, three sides are given.

First side = 15 cm

Second side = 17 cm

Third side = 8 cm

We need to determine whether the triangle is a right triangle. For a triangle to be a right angle, it must follow the Pythagoras theorem.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. Let 17 cm be the hypotenuse. So,

Now solving RHS,

Now solving LHS, 17² = 289

It implies, LHS = RHS

Hence, the triangle is a right triangle.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
