Solve the following right triangle, for x.

• -2.977

• 2.046

• 2.194

• 3.217

Solve the following right triangle, for theta.

• 45 degrees

• 0.785 degrees

• 1.571 degrees

• 90 degrees

Set up an equation to solve for r.

• (r+16)^2 = r^2 + 24^2

• 24^2 = 16+r

• 16^2 + r^2 = 24^2

• (r+24)^2 = r^2 + 16^2

How would you solve for x?

Assume JK=LM=24, and NP=NQ=9. How could you find the radius?

• Pythagorean Thm: 9^2 + 12^2 = r^2

• Pythagorean Thm: 9^2 + 24^2 = r^2

• Pythagorean Thm: r^2 + 9^2 = 12^2

• Pythagorean Thm: r^2 + 9^2 = 24^2
