9. determine whether or not the number 257 is prime.

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 (the prime numbers that come before 16)

Therefore, 257 is prime.

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
