Select the procedure that can be used to show the converse of the Pythagorean theorem using side lengths chosen from 3 feet, 4 f
eet, 5 feet, and 6 feet. A. Knowing that 32 + 42 = 52, draw the 3-foot side and the 4-foot side with a right angle between them. The 5-foot side will fit to form a right triangle.
B. Knowing that 32 + 52 ≠ 62, draw the 3-foot side and the 5-foot side with a right angle between them. The 6-foot side will fit to form a right triangle.
C. Knowing that 32 + 42 = 52, draw any two of the sides with a right angle between them. The third side will fit to form a right triangle.
D. Knowing that 42 + 52 < 62, draw the 4-foot side and the 5-foot side with a right angle between them. The 6-foot side will fit to form a right triangle.
Using Pythagoras theorem, we know that 3² + 4² = 5², draw the 3-foot side and the 4-foot side with a right angle between them. The 5-foot side will fit to form a right triangle
<h3>How to use Pythagoras theorem to prove a right triangle?</h3>
The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
Therefore,
c²= a²+ b²
where
c = hypotenuse side
a and b are the other legs.
Therefore,
3² + 4² = 5²
Hence,
Knowing that 3² + 4² = 5², draw the 3-foot side and the 4-foot side with a right angle between them. The 5-foot side will fit to form a right triangle
