Answer: Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles is not a justification for the proof.

Explanation : Here, \triangle ABC is a right triangle with sides a, b and c. Perpendicular CD forms right triangles BDC and CDA.

CD measures h units, BD measures y units, DA measures x units.

Draw an altitude from point C to Line segment AB Let segment BC = a segment CA = b, segment AB = c,  segment CD = h,  segment DB = y, segment AD = x,

y + x = c

a/c=y/a( Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and DBC )

a^2 = cy------(1) (Cross Product Property)

Similarly, b^2 = cx (Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and ADC)---------(2)

a^2 + b^2 = cy + cx(after adding equation (1) and (2) )

a^2 + b^2 = c(y + x)( By additional property of equality)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2. ( because y + x=c)

Thus, it has been proved that except Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles we use all other properties.

Lines L and M are parallel lines cut by the transversals line t. which angle is congruent to angle 5
Stells [14]

Answer:

When two lines are cut by a transversal, the pairs of angles on one side of the transversal and inside the two lines are called the consecutive interior angles . If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of consecutive interior angles formed are supplementary

A line is represented by the equation y = 3x - 6. Which is a coordinate of a
Furkat [3]

Answer:

(2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply plug in the coordinates. y= 3x - 6, so in this case 0= 3(2) - 6 or 0=0, making the point on the line. If the equation is not true like when using (0,3) and getting 3= -6, then the point is not on the line.
