I need help with pythagoras’ theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Pythagoras’ theorem  is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.  

The formula is:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are sides

c is the hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches.  Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem.  </u>

A leg is another way of saying a side.

5^2 + 7^2 = c^2

25 + 49 = x^2

sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet.  Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>

9^2 + b^2 = 25^2

81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)

b = sqrt(554)

Do you understand more?

Erin made a line plot of the amount of time she practiced shooting free throws each day in the past 10 days.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Data: for the 10 days of practice, we have:

0.5 hours 1 time.

0.75 hours 2 times

1 hour 3 times

1.25 hours 2 times

1.5 hours 1 time

2 hours 1 time.

A) the largest amount number of times that she practiced by the same amount of time is 3 (for the 1-hour practice)

The smallest is 1 ( for the 0.5h, 1.5h, and 2h practices)

the difference is 3 - 1 = 2.

B) the time that she practiced more times is 1 hour, she practiced that amount of time in 3 different days out of the 10 days.

C) the equation can be found by multiplying the number of hours by the number of times that she practiced that amount of time, and then adding all of them:

0.5h*1 + 0.75h*2 + 1h*3 + 1.25h*2 + 1.5h*1 + 2h*1  

D) the solution for the previous equation is 11 hours. Here the correct option is A.
