I need geometry help!!

Answer 1

Answer: i gave you another example i just had to help you

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  8²+ 10²=x²

 

B) x + 8 = 10

 

C)  x²+8²=10

 

D)  x²+ 10²=8²

 

EXPLANATION:

A)  

Incorrect. In this triangle, you know the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) has a length of 10. The lengths of the legs are 8 and x. The correct answer is .

 

B) x + 8 = 10

Incorrect. The Pythagorean Theorem is a relationship between the lengths of the sides squared. The correct answer is .

 

C)  

Correct. In this triangle, the hypotenuse has length 10, and the legs have length 8 and x. Substituting into the Pythagorean Theorem you have: ; this equation is the same as , or . What number, times itself, equals 36? That would make x = 6.

 

D)  

Incorrect. In this triangle, the hypotenuse has length 10 (always the longest side of the triangle and the side opposite the right angle) not 8. The correct answer is
