Use area of squares to visualize Pythagorean theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
5 0

We know that the Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c² and that the area of a square is l x w.

Firstly, we'll have to find the two measures of the triangle that correspond to the areas.

Since the figures are squares, we know that the length and width values must be the same.

We could square the numbers to find the side lengths, however we would have to square them again when substituting for the Pythagorean Theorem, so we can leave them as-is and adjust the equation accordingly.

(33) + b² = (44)

Next, we'll subtract our smaller value from our larger.

b² = (11)

Once again, we could find the square root of this number, but we'd just have to square it again to find the area of the square, so we can just simply write our answer as 11 units.

Therefore, the area of the square is 11 units!

<em>Hope this helped! :)</em>

Find the lateral area and the surface area of the right cone. Round your nearest answers to the nearest hundredth
S_A_V [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the cone, h = 24 cm

The radius of the cone, r = 10 cm

The slant height of the cone is :

l=\sqrt{h^2+r^2} \\\\l=\sqrt{24^2+10^2} \\\\l=26\ cm

The lateral area of the cone is given by :

A=\pi rl\\\\=3.14\times 10\times 26\\\\=816.4\ cm^2\approx 816\ cm^2

The surface area of the cone is given by :

A=2\pi rh\\\\=2\times 3.14\times 10\times 24\\\\=1507.2 \approx 1507\ cm^2

Help this is trigonometry I think 35 points!!
kolezko [41]

Answer:

y = 16.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for altitude of a right triangle which is given as:

h = √(xy)

Where,

h = 14

x = 12

y = y = ?

Plug in the values

14 = √(12*y)

14² = (√(12*y) (squaring both sides)

196 = 12*y

196/12 = 12y/12 (division property of equality)

16.3 = y (nearest tenth)

y = 16.3
