What is the length of a hypotenuse when the legs are 5 and 12

1 answer:

8 0

By using pythagoras theorem where
(Base)^2 +(perpedicular)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
So,
(5)^2 +(12)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
25 + 144 = (hypotenuse)^2
169 = (hypotenuse)^2
13 = hypotenuse

So, hypotenuse = 13

To find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem(which can only be used for right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side) And you can plug in the side lengths into this equation. If they are the same number on both sides, it is a right triangle, if they are different numbers it is not a right triangle.

6.) a² + b² = c²

(4√3)² + (11)² = (13)²

(16(3)) + 121 = 169

48 + 121 = 169

169 = 169 It IS a right triangle

7.) a² + b² = c²

(5)² + (2√14)² = (9)²

25 + (4(14)) = 81

25 + 56 = 81

81 = 81 It IS a right triangle

8.) a² + b² = c²

(6)² + (√49)² = (√82)²

36 + 49 = 82

85 = 82 It is NOT a right triangle

9.) a² + b² = c²

(13)² + (2√39)² = (16)²

169 + (4(39)) = 256

169 + 156 = 256

325 = 256 It is NOT a right triangle

Answer:

p>-3 open circle going to the right

$m\leq -4$ closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

$h\geq 2$ closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I answer these here are some good notes

If the inequality sign is < or > then the circle is going to be open

If the inequality sign is $\leq or\geq$ then the circle is going to be closed

If the inequality sign is facing the variable (ex: x>3) then the line is going to be going to the right

If the inequality sign is facing the constant (ex: x<3) then the line is going to be going to the left

p>-3 open circle going to the right

$m\leq -4$ closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

$h\geq 2$ closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle
