A ship travels 10 miles from Point A to Point B, makes a turn of 112, and travels 16 miles to Point C. If the ship travels direc

tly from Point C back to Point A, how many miles will it travel on the last leg of the trip (from Point C to Point A)? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.

This is Pythagorean's Theorem, with one leg being 10 and the hypotenuse being 16.  Using those values in the theorem looks like this:
10^{2} + b^{2} = 16^{2}
and 100+ b^{2} =256
and b^{2} =256-100
so b^{2} =156
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5

Directions: for questions 1 through 4, find the diagonal length of each solid figure.
Alex787 [66]
\text{The length of the diagonal is }11.2\text{ mm}

Here, we want to find the diagonal of the given solid

To do this, we need the appropriate triangle

Firstly, we need the diagonal of the base

To get this, we use Pythagoras' theorem for the base

The other measures are 6 mm and 8 mm

According ro Pythagoras' ; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let us have the diagonal as l

Mathematically;

\begin{gathered} l^2=6^2+8^2 \\ l^2\text{ = 36 + 64} \\ l^2\text{ =100} \\ l\text{ = }\sqrt[]{100} \\ l\text{ = 10 mm} \end{gathered}

Now, to get the diagonal, we use the triangle with height 5 mm and the base being the hypotenuse we calculated above

Thus, we calculate this using the Pytthagoras' theorem as follows;

\begin{gathered} d^2=5^2+10^2 \\ d^2\text{ = 25 + 100} \\ d^2\text{ = 125} \\ d\text{ = }\sqrt[]{125} \\ d\text{ = }11.2\text{ mm} \end{gathered}

Why do we use congruence?
NARA [144]

For people to comprehend the structure of their world, congruence is a crucial mathematical concept. Young children's daily interactions with congruence enable them to build innate perceptions of this geometric relationship.

Congruent:

If the size and shape of two triangles are same, they are said to be congruent. Three equal sides and identical angles are shared by two congruent triangles with regard to one another. Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent is referred to by the theorem CPCTC. According to the CPCTC theorem, whenever two triangles are congruent, then each of their corresponding parts are also congruent. In other words, if two or more triangles are congruent, then their corresponding sides and angles are also congruent or equivalent in size.
