Answer 1

Determine which set of measures can be lengths of a right triangle.
Select one:
a. 4,5,6
b. 5,6,7
c. 6,7,8
d. 3,4,5

Answer 2

If c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and a and b are the legs, calculate the value of a if b = 5 units and c = 13 units.
Select one:
a. 6
b. 11
c. 12
d. 17

Answer 3

Determine which set of measures can be lengths of a right triangle.
Select one:
a. 1,\[\sqrt{3}, 2\]
b. 1,2,5
c. 1,3,5
d. 1,4,5

Answer 4

In part one, see which ones follow a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the largest number.

Answer 5

So like d. 3, 4, 5

Does 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2?

Answer 6

9 + 16 = 25? Well yes, that works!

Where a. 4, 5, 6
4^2 + 5^2 = 6^2? -> 16 + 25 = 41 not 36, so no, this doesn't work.

Answer 7

OH, should that work for the three i posted?

Answer 8

Ok, thanks for your help dude! ;)

Answer 9

No no, in part 2 you have b and c, for 5 and 13
So it's a^2 + 5^2 = 13^2

Answer 10

a here comes out to be 12.
