Pythagorean Theorem and Circles

The slide at the playground has a height of 6 feet. The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8 feet. What is the length of the slide?

• 8 feet

• 5.29 feet

• 10 feet

• 14 feet

The Pythagorean Theorem is _________

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² + b² + c²

• A = LW

The hyopotenuse of the triangle measures

• 32

• 24

• 40

• 32 and 24

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2

• Take the square root of both sides

solve for x
