In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, upon being presented with a Th.D. (Doctor of Thinkology), the Scarecrow proudly exclaims, "T

he sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." Did the Scarecrow get the Pythagorean Theorem right? In particular, describe four errors in the Scarecrow's statement.

Answer:

The Scarecrow got it wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Pythagoras theorem does not apply to every isosceles triangle. It only applies to a triangle that has one of its sides as a right angle i.e. 90 degrees.

2. The Pythagoras theorem deals with squares of sides not square roots of sides.

3. Pythagoras theorem does not state that the square of any side is equal to the sum of the remaining two. Instead, it states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining two sides.

4. The Pythagoras theorem does not mention anything about an isosceles triangle. It deals only with Right angled triangles.

PLEASE HELP WITH THESE 4 PROBLEMS
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

  • y = -5/2x + 5
  • y = 2x -1
  • y = 24/11
  • y = 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y, subtract the x-term and divide by the coefficient of y.

5x +2y = 10

  2y = -5x +10

  y = -5/2x + 5

__

2y -4x = -2

  2y = 4x -2

  y = 2x -1

__

7y +4y = 24

  y = 24/11

We assume there is a typo, but cannot tell what it is. Use the same method as described and demonstrated for the other problems.

__

-2x +1/2y = 2

  1/2y = 2x +2

  y = 4x +4
