Question

Given: ΔABC is a right triangle.
Prove: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 1

Which is not a justification for the proof?

Answer 2

A.) Addition Property of equality
B.) Pythagorean Theorem
C.) Pieces of Right triangles similarity theorem
D.) Cross product property

Answer 3

Answer 4

I think its D. @iGreen

Answer 5

C'mon ppl damn it Dx

Answer 6

Answer 7

easy let me prove

Answer 8

Draw right triangle ABC by Construction. 2) Draw altitude CD with length h by Construction. 3) Let segment AC = b, segment CB = a, segment AB = c, segment AD = x, and segment DB = y by Labeling. 4) y + x = c by the Segment Addition Postulate. 5) c/a = a/y and c/b = b/x by the Pieces of Right Triangles Similarity Theorem. 6) b² = cx by the Cross Product Property and a² = cy by the Cross Product Property. 7) a² + b² = cy + b² by the Addition Property of Equality. 8) a² + b² = cy + cx by Substitution. 9) a² + b² = c times the quantity y + x, by the Distributive Property of Equality. 10) a² + b² = c * c by Substitution. 11) a² + b² = c² by Multiplication.]

Answer 9

B is not used in the proof

Answer 10

because we are proving it we cannot use it in the rpoof

Answer 11

eveery thing listed is used in the proof exept of pyghogorian theorem

Answer 12

@coolaidpower

Answer 13

oh ok so the answer would be B then because they did not use Pythagorean theorem?

Answer 14

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 15

yes also as we prove it we cannot use t in proof. as you look thought the proof you will se we use everightig exept pyghogorian theorem. so yeah B

Answer 16

ok man thank you!
