In trigonometry, the right triangle is considered a special triangle because there are derived equations solely for this type. It is really convenient when dealing right triangle problems because it is more simplified courtesy of the Pythagorean theorems. It is derived that the square of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs. In equation, that would be c² = a² + b². For this activity, all you have to do is find the sum of the squares in columns a and b. Then, see if this is equal to the square of the values in column c. Let's calculate each row:
Row 1:
3² + 4² ? 5²
25 ? 25
25 = 25
Row 2:
5² + 12² ? 13²
169 ? 169
169 = 169
Row 3:
9² + 12² ? 15²
225 ? 225
225 = 225
Therefore, all of the given values conform to a² + b² = c².

Step-by-step explanation:
when x is 4:
therefore:
Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.
Let y represent the length of the third side.
The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that
2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1
Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that
x = y + 10
Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes
2(y + 10) + y = 65
2y + 20 + y = 65
2y + y = 65 - 20
3y = 45
y = 45/3 = 15
Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes
x = 15 + 10 = 25
