Which statement describes whether a right triangle can be formed using one side length from each of these squares? Area = 64 in
Area = 225 in
Area = 289 in
Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares does not equal the area of
the largest square

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

2y+y=5

add 2y and y
