Question

Which set of side lengths can form a right triangle?

Answer 1

What are the choices?

Answer 2

In a right triangle, (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2.

Answer 3

Which set of side lengths can form a right triangle?

six, seven, eight

ten, fourteen, thirty-six

twelve, thirty-five, thirty-seven

thirteen, twenty-four, thirty

Answer 4

Okay, so with a right triangle, a^2 + b^2 + c^2.
So you plug it all in.
With a, 36+49=64, but that doesn't work.
With b, 100+196=1296, but that doesn't work.
With c, 144+1225=1369, which does work!

The answer is C!

Answer 5

THX

Answer 6

Which is not a Pythagorean Triple?

three, four, five

four, twelve, twenty-four

five, twelve, thirteen

nine, forty, forty-one

Answer 7

Go through the choices and determine where (leg)^ + (leg)^2 is NOT equal to (hypotenuse)^2.

Answer 8

WHAT

Answer 9

So do what I just did!
For the first answer, you have 9+16=25, but that doesn't work.
For the second answer, you have 16+144=576, but that doesn't work.
For the third answer, you have 25+144=169, and that works!
The answer is C!

Answer 10

lon's dad built a small baseball diamond in the field behind their house. The diamond formed by the four bases is a square rotated forty-five degrees. This means that each base line meets the next to form a ninety degrees angle. The length of each base line is twenty-five feet. How far would Dillon need to throw the ball to get it from first base to third base? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

A baseball diamond is shown. Each corner of the diamond forms a right angle. Each side of the diamond is labeled twenty-five feet. A dotted line extends across the middle of the diamond from first base to third base. It is labeled with a question mark.

about twenty-five feet

about thirty-five feet

about fifty feet

about one hundred feet

Answer 11
