Sasha made four models of airplane wings, as shown below. http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/assessment_images/educator_geometry_v14/pool_Geom_3641_0400_Subtest_01_01/image0034e2704ab.jpg Which model is a right triangle? Model C Model A Model B Model D I am pretty sure C is, if I use the pythagoras theorem for a right triangle of a^2+b^2=c^2 Perhaps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is A, model C.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Well, what do need help with? since you already know the answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm just making sure I'm doing it right lol so many formulas to keep track of .-. My "reply" was supposed to be a question haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was just clarifying the "c" from my original post.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Okay let's do it one one to see which triangle is right ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. = 1 + 81 ≠ 100 B. = 4 + 9 ≠ 25 C. = 81 + 144 = 225 :D lol

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

lol, you have already done it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha :D I really wanted to make sure though bc my brain is like Dx haha

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Okay; indeed you're right. It's C, you understand why?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[12^2 +9^2 = 225\] which is equal to \(15^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think because a^2 + b^2 = c^2 I just did it from the smallest number to the largest and plugged the numbers into the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yess. Thanks Mimi :3

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

It has to be equal for instance its the not the first one forgot \(1^2+9^2 = 82\) which is not equal to \(10^2\)

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

And you're welcome! :D

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

not the first one because*
