Brian says that ABCD is a right triangle. Is he correct? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number) Explain. 17 m
21.7 m
С
D 13.5 m

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)

 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

Which 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.

hope this .

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
