Given two sides with lengths 34 and 14 which of the following lengths would NOT work for the third side of a triangle?
There are not any following lengths in the question to compare. Using the sizes given, and Pythagorean Theorem, the Hypotenuse of the triangle is 36.76 - which will have to do!
How can you use the converse of the pythagorean theorem to tell whether three given lengths can be sides of triangles?
* To find the hypotenuse, take the square root of (a2 + b2). * To find either of the two shorter sides, take the square root of (c2 - b2)
Which of the following is not a Pythagorean triple?
That will depend on the triples of which none have been given but in order to be a Pythagorean triple they must comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Given the coordinates of two points in the plane you can use either the Distance Formula or the Pythagorean Theorem?
Answer: True
How are the Pythagorean Theorem and distance formula related to each other?
Because a right angle triangle can be formed by the given coordinates and the length of the line is the hypotenuse of the triangle and so by using Pythagoras' theorem its length or distance can be found. Distance formula: square root of [(x1-x2)^2 plus (y1-y2)^2)]
Is it better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
Yes.
Given a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c the Pythagorean theorem tells you that?
c2 = a2 + b2
It is better to use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the other side lengths?
yes. you can use trigonometry but phytagoreans theorem is faster and easier
What mathematician is given credit for proving that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse?
Pythagoras. Thus the Pythagorean theorem.
Why do you need the Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle (the side opposite the right angle) when you are given the two legs of the triangle (the other two sides). It becomes very important and crucial to math in trigonometry and later levels of math.
Where does the pythagorean theorem work?
For every right angle triangle Pythagoras' theorem states that the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its squared sides and is given as:- a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the right angle triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side
How do flying pigs use the pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides and is given by the following formula:- a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the right angle triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side
Given two sides with lengths 34 and 14 which of the following lengths would NOT work for the third side of a triangle?
There are not any following lengths in the question to compare. Using the sizes given, and Pythagorean Theorem, the Hypotenuse of the triangle is 36.76 - which will have to do!
What is prythagus theorem used for?
I think you mean the Pythagorean theorem. This particular theorem lets you calculate the third side of a right triangle when given the other to sides. The shorter two sides of the triangle are called "a" and "b" and the longest side is called "c" or the "hypotenuse. Here is the formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one side equal to 33 feet and another side equal to 41 feet.?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is found using the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2. Plugging in the given values, we have c^2 = 33^2 + 41^2. Simplifying, c^2 = 1089 + 1681 = 2770. Taking the square root of both sides, we find that the hypotenuse (c) is approximately 52.59 feet.
How do you get the answer to a Pythagorean theorem problem?
You take the information you're given, make sure you understand the question, write down the Pythagorean Theorem, then look at it to discover how it connects the information you have to the information you need to find.
How do you find the altitude of a right triangle?
If you are given the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem.
