Answer 1

@Nightmare11-16

Answer 2

are you taking a flvs online course @beastmachine

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

Specifically what is the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem? If I am to prove it, I need to know what it is.

Answer 5

one sec

Answer 6

o funny thing this question was on my module 5 dba that i took like 2 hours ago

Answer 7

what grade u in
one sec wolf

Answer 8

8th and my teacher is mskirchman

Answer 9

In a triangle with sides a, b, and c, if a2 + b2 = c2, then the triangle is a right triangle.
that is the answer if you print out the resource sheet everything you need to know is there even this answer

Answer 10

the converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that when the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squared length of the hypotenuse, the triangle is a right triangle.

Answer 11

im in 9th

Answer 12

im not very smart though

Answer 13

So basically it is proving a triangle is a right triangle as opposed to calculating the actual side lengths.
So, if there is a resource sheet for this - it's just a matter of finding it and posting it here.

Answer 14

but beast you are still a grade ahead

Answer 15

@wolf1728 yep

Answer 16

so whats the answer

Answer 17

n a triangle with sides a, b, and c, if a2 + b2 = c2, then the triangle is a right triangle.
that is the answer

Answer 18

thx @Nightmare11-16

Answer 19

hey can you help me with one more

Answer 20

yeah

Answer 21

k ill post in one sec

Answer 22

Here's a proof
http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emt668/emat6680.folders/brooks/6690stuff/righttriangle/pythagconv.html

Given: triangle ABC with c² = a² + b²

Prove: ABC is a right triangle.

1. Draw a right triangle EFG with legs a and b

2. n² = a² + b² (Pythagorean Theorem)

3. c² = a² + b² (Pythagorean Theorem)

4. c² = a² + b² = n²
Therefore c = n

5.ABC EFG (SSS postulate)

6. C is a right angle

7. ABC is a right triangle

Answer 23

Wow I just thought I'd copy and paste the text.
Well,
• I couldn't do it all at once
• Not all the answers were posted in that proof
• I drew my own graphic
GEEZ - I bet my "proof" only hss 17 missing steps. ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
