In trigonometry, the right triangle is considered a special triangle because there are derived equations solely for this type. It is really convenient when dealing right triangle problems because it is more simplified courtesy of the Pythagorean theorems. It is derived that the square of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs. In equation, that would be c² = a² + b². For this activity, all you have to do is find the sum of the squares in columns a and b. Then, see if this is equal to the square of the values in column c. Let's calculate each row:
Row 1:
3² + 4² ? 5²
25 ? 25
25 = 25
Row 2:
5² + 12² ? 13²
169 ? 169
169 = 169
Row 3:
9² + 12² ? 15²
225 ? 225
225 = 225
Therefore, all of the given values conform to a² + b² = c².
<em>Independent variables are variables of a quantity that are not affected by any conditions. </em>
<em>Dependent variables are variables of a quantity that change if conditions relative to that variable changes.</em>
For example, we generally we take x as independent variable by x variable and dependent variable by y variable.
To find the rate of change we get two values of independent variable (x's) and two values of dependent variables (y's) to get two coordinates in form of
(x,1,y1) and (x2,y2).
<h3>And we can find the rate of change by applying slope formula</h3>
.
The median is the middle-most number. First we need to put the numbers in order from lowest to highest:
81 84 88 94 94 96
The easiest way to find the median is to cross out the first and last number and then continue until you reach the middle.
So cross out 81 and 96:
84 88 94 94 are left.
Cross out 84 and 94:
88 and 94 are left.
Since we are left with 2 different numbers, we need to find the average of them and that’s our median. (88 + 94)/2 = 91
91 is the median.
