Question:

Andrea is given AABC and told that a² + b2 = c2. She draws right triangle RTS with legs

measuring a and b and hypotenuse measuring 2. Which best describes what Andred should

do in order to prove that AABC is a right triangle?

1) Show that a² + b2 = c2, so ZA ZR. This means AABC = ARTS, and so ZC is a right angle

and so AABC is a right triangle.

2) Show that c = 2, so AABC = ARTS and so ZC = ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

AABC is a right triangle.

3) Show that c = x, so AABC = ARTS and so ZCZ ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

ABC is a right triangle.

O

4) Show that c = r, so AABC ~ ARTS and so ZC ~ ZS. This means ZC is a right angle, and so

AABC is a right triangle.

Answer:

The correct option is;

2) Andrea should show that c = 2 so ∡ABC = ∡RTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle hence ΔABC is a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have that the given sides of the triangle are a, b and c and therefore, whereby Andrea is able to draw the two sides of the right triangle with sides = a and b and the third, hypotenuse, side as equal to 2, we know that since the length of the hypotenuse = 2, then we have;

2² = a² + b²

However, we are told that c² = a² + b²

Therefore, c = 2 hence, Andrea should show that c = 2 so ΔABC = ΔRTS and ∡C = ∡S hence ∡C is a right angled triangle since it is the angle opposite to the hypotenuse c and therefore, ΔABC is a right triangle.

Easy algebra question below first correct answer gets brainliest
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy pythagorean theorum question.

The law states that "A squared plus B squared, equals C squared."

A and B are the two sides that border the 90 degree mark.

C is the hypotenuse or the longest side/diagonal.

Since we know C and A (I chose to use A because why not) we can fill in the equation with what we know

2^2 + ?^2 = \sqrt{13^{2} }

So

4 + ?^2 = \sqrt{13^{2} }

Since the 13 is already squared in side of a root, it stays as 13

4 + x^2 = 13

4 - 4 + x^2 = 13 - 4

x^2 = 9

x^2 root = root of 9

x = 3

The missing side is 3.

Or you could use an online calculator xD

(5ab-4a-8)-(9ab-5) its an online geometry class,please help!i provided you 10 pts
Bumek [7]
(5ab-4a-8)-(9ab-5)
Ok just remember that the minus sign before the (9ab-5) is like a minus 1 so it changes the sign inside the bracket...
>>5ab-4a-8-9ab+5
>>-4ab-4a-3
I'm guessing you just have to leave it like that unless there are other parts to the question or whatever but that's that simplified as far as it can be!
