B)21.93 ft.
C)27.73 ft.
D)19.21 ft.

Question 1 = D) Acute

Question 2 = C)3 feet

Question 3 = D) Obtuse

Question 4 = C)27.73 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: A triangle has sides with lengths 5, 6, and 7. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?

In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

Where:

If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle

If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.

If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.

It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.

Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths

5 = a, 6 = b and c = 7

a² + b² = c²

5² + 6² = 7²

25 + 36 = 49

61 = 49

61 ≠ 49, Hence 61 > 49

Therefore, this is an Acute Triangle

Question 2: A 15-foot statue casts a 20-foot shadow. How tall is a person who casts a 4-foot-long shadow?

This is question that deals with proportion.

The formula to solve for this:

Height of the statue/ Length of the shadow of the person = Height of the person/ Length of the shadow of the person

Height of the statue = 15 feet

Length of the shadow of the person = 20 feet

Height of the person = unknown

Length of the shadow of the person = 4

15/ 20 = Height of the person/4

Cross Multiply

15 × 4 = 20 × Height of the person

Height of the person = 15 × 4/20

= 60/20

Height of the person = 3 feet

Therefore, the person is 3 feet tall.

Question 3: A triangle has sides with lengths 17, 12, and 9. Is the triangle right, acute, or obtuse?

In order to be able to accurately classify that a triangle with 3 given sides is either a right , acute or obtuse angle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

Where:

If a² + b² = c² = Right angle triangle

If a² +b² > c² = Acute triangle.

If a² +b² < c² = Obtuse triangle.

It is important to note that the length ‘‘c′′ is always the longest.

Therefore, for the above question, we have lengths 17, 12, 9

9 = a, 12 = b and c = 17

a² + b² = c²

9² + 12² = 17²

81 + 144 = 289

225 = 289

225 ≠ 289

225 < 289

Hence, This is an Obtuse Triangle.

Question 4: Two friends are standing at opposite corners of a rectangular courtyard. The dimensions of the courtyard are 12 ft. by 25 ft. How far apart are the friends?

To calculate how far apart the two friends are we use the formula

Distance = √ ( Length² + Breadth²)

We are given dimensions: 12ft by 25ft

Length = 12ft

Breadth = 25ft

Distance = √(12ft)² + (25ft)²

Distance = √144ft²+ 625ft²

Distance = √769ft²

Distance = 27.730849248ft

Approximately ≈27.73ft

Therefore, the friends are 27.73ft apart.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
