No, you can only use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangles.

Pythagoreans' theorem only applies to right angle triangles.

To find unknowns of an irregular triangle use

a² = b² + c² -2bc cos A
( for length and angle )

and

½ ab sin C ( for area )

In a certain dart game, points are awarded for hitting a certain sections of the board. You get 5 points for each hit and lose 3

Jlenok [28]

So we have
h=hits
m=miss
h+m=10

gain 5 for every hit and lose 3 for every miss
so 5 times number of hit=points from hit
-3 times number of miss=points deducted from miss
add
5h-3m=18
so we have the equations

h+m=10
5h-3m=18

multiply first equation by 3
3h+3m=30
add to first equatio

3h+3m=30
5h-3m=18 +
8h+0m=48

8h=48
divide by 8
h=6
subsitute
h+m=10
6+m=10
subtract 6
m=4

6 hits
4 miss

The packaging lists a model airplane’s length as 10.5 in. It also gives the scale as 1:83. What is the length of the actual airp

Lana71 [14]

$\bf \cfrac{\stackrel{model}{length}}{\stackrel{actual}{length}}\qquad 1:83\qquad \cfrac{1}{83}\implies \cfrac{1}{83}=\cfrac{10.5}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{83\cdot 10.5}{1}
\\\\\\
x=871.5~inches
\\\\\\
\textit{there are 12 inches in 1 foot, thus }
\\\\\\
871.5~\underline{in}\cdot \cfrac{ft}{12~\underline{in}}\implies 72.625~ft 
\qquad \approx 73~ft$

Tracy is running a trail in Hanna park she can run 1 mile in 10 minutes Yanni is running the same trail as Tracy Johnny can run

Katena32 [7]

It will take Yanni 20 minutes to catch up with Tracy. This can be determined with the fact that average velocity equals change in distance divided by change in time. Rearrange the equation so that we are solving for the final time, then set Tracy's equation equal to Yanni's equation and solve for the final time.
