Step 1: Place the graph paper in landscape orientation. Measure from the top left hand corner 6 inches right and 5 inches down.

This will be your starting point for
your diagram.
Step 2: Using a ruler and index card/protractor create an isosceles Right triangle. Drawing the triangles legs 1 inch straight up from the starting point and 1 inch to the
right of the starting point. Connect the endpoints of the two segments to create your right isosceles triangle.
Step 3: On a separate piece of paper, use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse. You only need to do this for the first 8 if you discover a
pattern.
Step 4: Using your original Right triangle, add another leg measuring 1 inch and right angle to the hypotenuse of your original Right triangle. Connect the endpoints
to form a new hypotenuse for your new Right triangle.
Step 5: Show the calculations to find the length of the new hypotenuse.
Step 6: Continue to repeat this process of connecting and drawing new triangles with a side length of 1 inch, using the previous hypotenuse as the other side. Draw
triangles until you are able to measure the square root of 17. You must show all calculations (Step 3) on a separate piece of paper.

<h3>How to determine the hypotenuse?</h3>

<u>Step 1 and 2: Draw an isosceles right triangle</u>

See attachment (figure 1) for this triangle

The legs of this triangle have a length of 1 inch

<u>Step 3: The hypotenuse</u>

This is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

h^2 = 1^2 + 1^2

This gives

h = \sqrt 2

<u>Step 4: Draw another isosceles right triangle</u>

Add 1 inch to one of the legs

See attachment (figure 2) for this triangle

The legs of this triangle have lengths of 1 inch and 2 inches, respectively

This hypotenuse is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

h^2 = 2^2 + 1^2

This gives

h = \sqrt 5

<u>Step 5: Draw another isosceles right triangle</u>

Add 1 inch to one of the legs

See attachment (figure 3) for this triangle

The legs of this triangle have lengths of 1 inch and 3 inches, respectively

This hypotenuse is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

h^2 = 3^2 + 1^2

This gives

h = \sqrt {10

<u>Step 6: Draw another isosceles right triangle</u>

Add 1 inch to one of the legs

See attachment (figure 4) for this triangle

The legs of this triangle have lengths of 1 inch and 4 inches, respectively

This hypotenuse is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

h^2 = 4^2 + 1^2

This gives

h = \sqrt{[17

See that the hypotenuse is the square root of 17

Hence, the right triangle whose legs are 1 inch and 4 inches has an hypotenuse of √17

How many triangles can be drawn with side lengths of 3 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches???
storchak [24]

Answer:

4 congruent triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is no one of the sum of two sides is less then the third side, so it's possible to form a triangle

Use straightedge and compass, it can draw 4 triangles at a common base

A sociologist recorded the estimated life expectancies of women born in Center City. Use the data from women born in 1970 and 20
Veronika [31]

Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.

<h3>What will be the linear model for the given data?</h3>

Put the values of the x in the all given equations and then check the value of y if the value of y matches the given values in the option

So if we put the value x=1980 in the Y=0.213x-352  then

Y=0.213(1980)-352

Y=69.74

These values are closest to 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.

Thus Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.
