Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This would be true if the lines are parallel. We have no information about the lines, so we cannot assume the lines are parallel, so we cannot use the corresponding angles theorem
Answer:
When we have 3 numbers, like:
a, b and c.
Such that:
a < b < c.
These numbers are a Pythagorean triplet if the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers, is equal to the square of the larger number:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
This is equivalent to the Pythagorean Theorem, where the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.
Now that we know this, we can check if the given sets are Pythagorean triples.
1) 3, 4, 5
Here we must have that:
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
solving the left side we get:
3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25
and the right side:
5^2 = 25
Then we have the same in both sides, this means that these are Pythagorean triples.
2) 8, 15, 17
We must have that:
8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
Solving the left side we have:
8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289
And in the right side we have:
17^2 = 17*17 = 289
So again, we have the same result in both sides, which means that these numbers are Pythagorean triples
To find the answer to this, we can use the formula for the diagonal of a square,
a
, with a being the length of the side. That meaans that the length of the diagonal is 98, which is approximately equal to 138.59.
