!30 POINTS! How can I use this trapezoid to prove the Pythagorean Theorem?

Mathematics

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2

Find the area by adding the areas of the three triangles. The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh

Two triangles are identical so you can just multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab.

The total area of the trapezoid is : A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2

You multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2

You subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2.

Then what is left is the proof: a2 + b2 = c2

Find the measures of the following angles.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

1: 36° 2: 122° 3: 122° 4: 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

First start out by getting 2 and 3. so 58+angle 3 has to sum to 180° since they are supplementary and are a straight line. So 180-58=122. Angle 2 is the same since theyre vertical. then since a triangle has 180° total, you subtract from 180 to find the final angle measurement.

Use the associative property<br> write an equivalent expression.<br> (5 + 7) + x =
Firdavs [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5+(7+x)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Finding an Equivalent Expression

The associative property of addition states that you can move the terms that are inside the parentheses and still have the expression remain true. So, in the answer above, I moved 5 out of the parentheses and x into the parentheses. No matter the value of x the value of the expression will remain the same

Examples and Proof

Another example of the associative property could be (1+6)+3 = 1+(6+3). To prove this statement we can evaluate each side of the expression.

First, let's do (1+6)+3

  • (1+6)+3
  • (7)+3
  • 10

Next, let's do 1+(6+3)

  • 1+(6+3)
  • 1+(9)
  • 10

As you can see both of these expressions are the same, thus proving that the associative property works in this situation.
