Question

A right triangle is drawn on graph paper. The length of the legs measure 1.5 centimeters and 2 centimeters. The length of the hypotenuse measures 2.5 centimeters. Write an equation using the triangle’s side lengths to show the Pythagorean Theorem holds true for the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

1.5^2 + 2^2 = 2.5^2

2.25 + 4 = 6.25

6.25 = 6.25
