Is 10 24 26 a Pythagorean triplet?
Yes because they comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Do these three sides make a right triangle 10 24 26?
it should make a triangle I dont know about a right triangle because in order for three sides to make a triangle the sum of the two smallest sides need to be bigger than the biggest side in this case the sum of the two smallest numbers is 34 and the biggest side is only 26 making the two smaller sides bigger than the biggest side ------ Yes, they make a right triangle if 10(a) and 24(b) are the legs and 26(c) is the hypotenuse because of a^2+b^2=c^2.
A rectangular dog lot is 10 feet wide and has a diagonal of 26 feethow much fencing would be needed to enclose it?
draw it out. you have 2 sides of a triangle. use pythag theorm 26 squared- 10 squared 676-100=576 square root of 576 is 24. 24+24+10+10=68 you need 68 feet of fencing
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 feet long one leg of the triangle is 14 feet longer than the other leg find the lengths of the legs of the triangle?
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 feet long one leg of the triangle is 14 feet longer than the other leg find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? The best advise is to draw a right triangle with the base about twice as long as the height. Label the height x Label the base x+14 Label the hypotenuse 26 . Use Pythagorean Theorem Eq. #1..(Base)^2 + (Height)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2 Substitute variables and length of hypotenuse into Eq. #1. (x)^2 + (x + 14)^2 = (26)^2 x^2 + x^2 +28x + 196 = 676 Combine like terms and move all to the left side. 2x^2 +28x - 480 = 0 This is a quadratic equation. Here is a web site for a quadratic equation solver. http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/quadratic.htm I made a short cut to this site on my desk top, since I use it so often. I solved the quadratic by hand until I found this site. I do not need practice solving quadratic equations by hand. The 2 answers are 10 and -24. Well, I never saw a triangle with height = -24 feet long. Height = x = 10 ft. Base = x + 14 = 24 ft Check with Pythagorean Theorem 10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2 100 + 576 = 676 We're OK I find it interesting that though the -24 can not be used, thelong side = +24ft
The angle of elevation from L to K measures 55 degrees If JK equals 26 find JL the triangle is a right triangle?
the angle of elevation from L to K measures 55 degrees. If JK=26,find JL. roind to the nearest tenth
