A right-angled triangle and its hypotenuse.

In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite of the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. For example, if one of the other sides has a length of 3 (when squared, 9) and the other has a length of 4 (when squared, 16), then their squares add up to 25. The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of 25, that is, 5.

So basically the hypotenuse is the part of the triangle that connects the two sides that create the right angle

Answer

r = -20

Step-by-step explanation

subtract 4r from both sides of the equation

-8=r+12

subtract 12 from both sides of the equation

-20 = r

No links or weird answers, please :( Are all of these graphs functions? Explain why or why not.

The only grab function is 2 because 1 and 3 don’t even make sense it’s not a negative slope, positive slope, undefined slope, or zero slope therefore it’s nothing.

B 5 3 a 4 What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle? 3 units 5 units 4 units

Lunna [17]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the longest segment on a triangle. If the lengths of the sides of this triangle are 3 units, 4 units, and 5 units, the hypotenuse will be 5 units. You can use the pythagorean theorem to check.

a^2+b^2=c^2

If you substitute the variable with the lengths of the legs in ascending order, you will get 3^2+4^2=5^2. Simplifying the equation, you will get 9+16=25, or 25=25. Thus, proving the equation.

Hope this helped! :)
