Question
directions: could the set of numbers be the three sides of a right triangle? write yes or no.
- 6, 12, and 13
- 14, 48, and 50
- 10, 18, and 22
- 8, 15, and 17
- 20, 21, and 30
- 20, 21, and 29
directions: find the missing measurement. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
- a =
b = 60
c = 61
- a = 30
b = 16
c =
- a = 5
b =
c = 11
Problem 7 (6, 12, 13)
Step1: Identify hypotenuse (longest side)
Longest side is 13. So \( c = 13 \), \( a = 6 \), \( b = 12 \).
Step2: Apply Pythagorean theorem (\( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \))
Calculate \( 6^2 + 12^2 = 36 + 144 = 180 \), \( 13^2 = 169 \). Since \( 180
eq 169 \), not a right triangle.
Step1: Identify hypotenuse (50)
\( a = 14 \), \( b = 48 \), \( c = 50 \).
Step2: Apply Pythagorean theorem
\( 14^2 + 48^2 = 196 + 2304 = 2500 \), \( 50^2 = 2500 \). Since \( 2500 = 2500 \), it is a right triangle.
Step1: Identify hypotenuse (22)
\( a = 10 \), \( b = 18 \), \( c = 22 \).
Step2: Apply Pythagorean theorem
\( 10^2 + 18^2 = 100 + 324 = 424 \), \( 22^2 = 484 \). Since \( 424
eq 484 \), not a right triangle.
