Sebastian wants to create a right triangle with side lengths 14 inches, 48 inches, and 5
1 answer:
Answer: Choice A
=======================================================
Explanation:
The pythagorean theorem is
The value of c is always the longest side, aka hypotenuse.
The order of 'a' and b doesn't matter.
So a = 14, b = 48, c = 50
We have
We also have
Both sides result in 2500 which proves that is a true statement. Therefore, we do have a right triangle.

3. The area of a triangle can be given by (just plug and chug as always):
The area of the triangle is 6ft².
4. I will divide into a triangle and a rectangle (because the actual equation for the area of a pentagon requires it to be a perfect pentagon). Let's do the triangle first (height is 3 because you subtract 12 from 15):
Now we just add them:
So, the area of that pentagon is 108m².
5. You are actually wrong on this one because the area of a triangle is:
So, just halve your answer and it will be correct.
6. We can just split it into 4 triangles of equal area and then multiply the area of 1 triangle by 4 to get the total area. Let's do just that:
Multiply by 4 to get total area:
So, the area of the given rhombus is 25cm².
