No, Abe is incorrect.
If you don’t know which side is the hypotenuse, you have to try every possibility.
3^ + 4^ = 5^
25 = 25
The triangle is a right triangle. The side which is 5 cm long is the hypotenuse.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
THE THIRD CHOICE
Answer:
x = 30°.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dashes on the three lines indicate that the three lines are of equal lengths. The smaller triangle made out of the three lines (the one with two vertices on the circumference of the circle and one at the center of the circle) is an isosceles triangle. All three of the triangle's interior angles are 60° since it is isosceles.
The line (the one with arrows on its ends) touches the circle at only one point. That line is a tangent to the circle. That line is perpendicular to the segment that connects the center of the circle to the point of tangency. The angle between the two will be 90°.
The largest triangle includes three angles:
- The angle with the center of the circle as its vertice: 60°;
- The right angle due to the tangent to the circle: 90°;
- The angle x°.
What is the value of x?
The three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°. As a result,
60° + 90° + x° = 180°
x = 180 - 90 - 60 = 30.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hit 'em with the Law of Sines.
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b.
Let's say x is equal to "A", thus 5 is "a".
sin(x)/5 = sin(B)/b.
We could go for the obvious choice for "B", which would be the 90 degrees shown. To solve for the hypotenuse which will be "b", let's use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 20^2 = c^2
25 + 400 = 425
sqrt(425) = about 20.6, which we can now substitute "b" with.
sin(x)/5 = sin(90)/20.6
sin(x)/5 = 1/20.6
sin(x)/5 = 0.04854...
sin(x) = 0.2427...
You can plug in sin^-1(0.2427) into your calculator, and you should end up with something like 14.047... which equates to answer choice C.
