Determine if the following triangle is a right triangle or not using the Pythagorean Theorem Converse. Triangle with side lengths of: 8 in, 15 in and 17 in please answear.

It is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Information needed:

Formula: a^2+b^2= c^2

a: leg

b: leg

c: hypotenuse

the longest side is always the hypotenuse, so 17 in

the order of legs don't matter so 8 in and 15 in

Solve:

a^2+b^2= c^2

8^2+15^2= 17^2

64+225= 289

289= 289

Final

It is a right triangle

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
