50 POINTS!!! complete the proof of the Pythagorean theorem.

1 answer:

3 0

1.)Substitute numbers for A, B, C (ex. 3,4,5): (3)^2 + (4)^2 = (5)^2

2.)Simplify and Solve: 9+16=25

25=25. Therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem is true.

How do I solve this?

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Addition of the blocks in first row is 60

a + a + a + 12 = 60

3a + 12 = 60

3a = 60 - 12

3a = 48

a = 16

For second row,

(b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) = 60

4(b + 5) = 60

b + 5 = 15

b = 10

For third row,

(a + b) + c = (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5)

a + b + c = 3(b + 5)

16 + 10 + c = 3(10 + 5) [Since, a = 16 and b = 10}

26 + c = 45

c = 45 - 26

c = 19

For fourth row,

3c + d = 60

3(19) + d = 60

57 + d = 60

d = 60 - 57

d = 3

1. Determine a rule that could be used to explain how the volume of a

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We will use the basic formulas for calculating the volumes of two solid bodies.

- The volume of a cylinder ( V_l ) is represented by:

$V_c = \pi *r^2*h$

- Similarly, the volume of cone ( V_c ) is represented by:

$V_c = \frac{1}{3}*\pi *r^2 * h$

Where,

r : The radius of cylinder / radius of circular base of the cone

h : The height of the cylinder / cone

- We will investigate the correlation between the volume of each of the two bodies wit the radius ( r ). We will assume that the height of cylinder/cone as a constant.

- We will represent a proportionality of Volume ( V ) with respect to ( r ):

$V = C*r^2$

Where,

C: The constant of proportionality

- Hence the proportional relation is expressed as:

V∝ r^2

- The volume ( V ) is proportional to the square of the radius. Now we will see the effect of multiplying the radius ( r ) with a positive number ( a ) on the volume of either of the two bodies:

$V = C*(a*r)^2\\\\V = C*a^2*r^2$

- Hence, we see a general rule frm above relation that multiplying the result by square of the multiple ( a^2 ) will give us the equivalent result as multiplying a multiple ( a ) with radius ( r ).

- Hence, the relations for each of the two bodies becomes:

$V = (\frac{1}{3} \pi *r^2*h)*a^2$

$V = ( \pi *r^2*h)*a^2$

The square root of a negative number, such as StartRoot negative 144 EndRoot, is undefined. Explain why the square root of –x, S

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=\sqrt{-x}$

we know that

The radicand of the function cannot be a negative number

$-x\geq 0$

Solve for x

Multiply by -1 both sides

$x\leq 0$

The domain of the function f(x) is the interval -----> (-∞, 0]

The domain is all real numbers less than or equal to zero

The range of the function f(x) is the interval ----> [0,∞)

The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

<em>Example</em>

For x=144

$144\leq 0$ ----> is not true

This value of x not satisfy the domain

substitute

$f(x)=\sqrt{-144}$ ----> this value is undefined

For x=-144

$-144\leq 0$ ----> is true

This value of x satisfy the domain

substitute

$f(x)=\sqrt{-(-144)}$

$f(x)=\sqrt{144}$ ----> this value is defined

therefore

The function will be undefined for all those values of x that do not belong to the interval of the domain of the function
