Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of 73. Since the theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 and only works with right triangles. You take 2/2 the base so you have a right triangles with a hypotenuse if 9 and a side of 3. Then you just plug in to solve.
Short answer = false
Remark
If it is a right triangle, it will obey the Pythagorean Equation. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Let's see if it does.
Equation
a^2 + b^2= c^2
c must be the longest line. (Hypotenuse)
Givens
a = 24
b = 17
c = 40
Sub and Solve
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
17^2 + 24^2 = c^2 [We'll see if this comes out to 40]
289 + 576 = c^2
865 = c^2 which is no where near what 40^2 equals. 40^2 = 1600
Short answer False
Square root of 865 = (865)^1/2 = 29.4
