Answer:

Phythagorean Theorem - a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It represents the Pythagorean Theorem because in the model there is a right triangle and you can use the phythagoren theorem with any right triangle that has at least two known sides.

Since you know all the sides in this diagram, this would be true:

6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

In the right triangle, if a = 3 and b = 6, what is the value of c?

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

we plug the numbers in; $3^{2} + 6^{2} =c^{2}$

9+36=c^2

45=c^2

sqr root of 45 is $\sqrt{45}$

next find the positive perfect sqr root of 45 which will be 9.

9 goes into 45 5 times so it will be $\sqrt{9x5}$

Sqr root of 9 is 3 so it will be $3 \sqrt{5}$

I dont know how to answer this.

I believe it is 9. I think they are asking that if you plug in the y coordinate 0, and therefore it is asking what the value of x should be so that 2/3x-6 would equal 0. If you plug in 9, you get 18/3 and if you subtract 6 from that, you should get 0
