Question

CAN ANYONE ANSWER? I NEED HELP SO BAD :(
3. One method you can use to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, given three side lengths, is to apply the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. Alternately, you can use trigonometric ratios. Show that the triangle in the diagram is a right triangle by using trigonometric ratios. (Be sure to show all work and/or reasoning.)

Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

I know how to do this problem using the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.

The trig ratio technique -- have you studied the Law of Cosines, maybe.

Answer 3

Same question with no trig ratios. @jim_thompson5910

Look at this:

Answer 4

@Directrix I think I have actually figured it out

Answer 5

@Directrix thank you for the help
(: you too @Godlovesme
But @Directrix do you think you could help me with one other question? i am not doing so well in geometry and I just really aim to pass.. do you think you could take a look at this other question and see if you could help any?

Answer 6

Yes, I'll look.

Answer 7

u r welcome @hannaolsonnn eventhough i didn't do anything ;/
@Directrix did u find the A button?

Answer 8

click the draw button

Answer 9

3. For TOE the following facts are given:
m<TOS = m<SOE
TE = 6 cm
OT = 2 cm
OE = 5.8 cm
OG = 4.35 cm
AU = 0.45 cm
Use this information to find the following missing lengths. Show all work or reasoning. Round non-integral lengths to the nearest hundredth.
b) GE Segment Addition Postulate, GE = 5.8 - 4.35 = 1.45 cm
c) TS
d) OA
e) BT (Use the Side-Splitting Theorem.)
f) SE
g) OU

As you can see, the only answer I am confident in answering is B

Answer 10

have u tried typing on the white board

Answer 11

@hannaolsonnn What is that symbol before the TOE?

>>For TOE the following facts are given:

Answer 12

omg idk why it came out like that it is supposed to be a triangle

Answer 13

No worries. Let me read the problem.

Answer 14

ok(:

Answer 15

Let's throw up a larger diagram, or part of the diagram so that we can see what's going on.
