Question

There are 36 students playing tag at recess. This is 6 times as many as are playing hopscotch. Which model shows the comparison

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, they are.

step-by-step explanation:

remember that a triangle is only a right triangle if its sides meet this mathematical requirement:

(leg)² + (leg)² = (hypotenuse)²

the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side, while the legs are the two shorter sides. we can't say exactly where √34 is, but since √25 = 5 and √36 = 6, we know it must be at least bigger than 5, making it the triangle's longest side.

using √34 as the "hypotenuse" and 3 and 5 as the "legs" of our triangle makes the equation 3² + 5² = (√34)², and simplifying gets us

9 + 25 = 34

34 = 34

the requirement's been met, so yes, this is a right triangle
