FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a Pythagorean Triple?

Back

A Pythagorean Triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a² + b² = c². For example, (3, 4, 5) is a Pythagorean Triple.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula to find the length of the diagonal in a right triangle?

Back

The length of the diagonal (hypotenuse) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: c = √(a² + b²), where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the other two sides.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If one side of a right triangle is 6 feet and the hypotenuse is 10 feet, what is the length of the other side?

Back

8 feet. Using the Pythagorean theorem: 10² = 6² + x², so x = √(100 - 36) = √64 = 8.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the first three Pythagorean Triples?

Back

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (8, 15, 17).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine if three numbers form a Pythagorean Triple?

Back

Check if a² + b² = c² holds true for the three numbers.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the length of the diagonal of a rectangle with sides 120 ft and 160 ft?

Back

200 ft. Using the Pythagorean theorem: c = √(120² + 160²) = √(14400 + 25600) = √40000 = 200.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a right triangle has legs of length 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

13. Using the Pythagorean theorem: c = √(5² + 12²) = √(25 + 144) = √169 = 13.
