Equlateral
Obtuse
Acute
Right
Question 5
5.
Which is showing the correct work/answer?
Question 6
6.
Which of the following shows the correct set-up to determine the length from A to B?
Question 7
7.
Which of the following do you need to calculate the length of a side of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem?
two out of the three sides in any type of triangle will work when using the Pythagorean Theorem
two out of the three sides in only a right triangle will work when using the Pythagorean Theorem
one side and one (acute) angle in only a right triangle will work when using the Pythagorean Theorem
one side and one angle in any type of triangle will work when using the Pythagorean Theorem
Use what we have learned about the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to answer questions #8 through #10.
Question 8
8.
If the following three sides form a right triangle—13.5, 61.5, 60, which side is the hypotenuse?
61.5
60
13.5
Question 9
9.
You are given sticks that are 10 in, 11 in, and 13 in long. Can you place the sticks such that they form a right triangle?
No, because 10+11 does not equal 13
Yes, because a triangle has 3 sides
No, because 100 + 121 does not equal 169
Yes, because there is a small side, a medium side, and a long side
Question 10
10.
Which is the correct work to determine if a triangle with side lengths of 72, 97, and 65 form a right triangle?
