FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). It can be expressed as: c² = a² + b².

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What type of triangle does the Pythagorean Theorem apply to?

Back

The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If one leg of a right triangle is 3 and the other leg is 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25, so c = √25 = 5.

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always greater than either of the other two sides.

How do you classify a triangle with sides 8, 9, and 15?

Back

The triangle is classified as obtuse because 15² > 8² + 9².

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula to find the length of one leg of a right triangle if the hypotenuse and the other leg are known?

Back

If c is the hypotenuse and a is the known leg, the formula is: b = √(c² - a²).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the distance from a point to a line in a right triangle context?

Back

The distance from a point to a line can be found using the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.
