Pythagorean Theorem Find Legs

The Pythagorean Theorem is

a² + b² = c²

• false

• true

Which of the following sentences would belong in the proof that describes this image?

• The sum of the areas of the two smaller squares is equal to the area of the large square.

• The sum of the side lengths of the two smaller squares is equal to the side length of the large square.

• The difference of the areas of the two smaller squares is equal to the area of the large square.

• The differences of the side lengths of the two smaller squares is equal to the side length of the large square.

a = 2.1, b = 7.2, c = 7.5

Is this a right triangle?

*Hint - You could plug the values into the Pythagorean Theorem.

• yes

• no

What is the formula for finding the hypotenuse?

• a² + b² = c²

• a + b = c

• a - b = c

• c - b = a

We are given one of the sides and the hypotenuse. Find the length of the missing side length. (Hint: distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder)

• 7

• 5

• 11

• 25

a² + b² = c^{2
b = 35 c = 37}

• a = 12

• a = 11

• a = 18

• a = 14
