Answer: choice B
Explanation: Go through each answer choice and try the Pythagorean theorem to see if it works. This is because a right triangle’s side lengths are described by the Pythagorean theorem. one side^2 + second side^2 = longest side^2. In a right triangle, this equation will be true. Let me show you what I mean
For answer choice A:
(root 2)^2 + (root 3)^2 = (root 4)^2
2 + 3 = 4
5 = 4
5 does not equal 4. Therefore it cannot be A.
For answer choice B:
(root 8)^2 + (3)^2 = (root 17)^2
8 + 9 = 17
17 = 17
this is true! therefore this is a right triangle and it’s B
sketch the situation
a trigonometric function that is a relation between the angle of elevation and the 2 sides of the rectangles is the tan
find the inverse
after rounding the angle of elevation is 34º.
All the steps were correct except the final statement. The
mistake was in Line 6.
Line 6 triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFD by
SAS.
<span>This does not follow. The SAS postulate states
that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle is congruent to two sides
and the included angle of another triangle. The student only proved that one side
of the triangle (AC) is congruent to the side of another triangle (EF) .</span>
