A right angled triangle is one where one of the angles equals 90 degrees. The Pythagorean theorem dictates that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. Round off to the nearest tenth. Calculate the value of the missing side.
All values are in centimetres.
In each triangle measure the length of the hypotenuse and check your measurements by the Pythagorean theorem. Solve and then check each equation. Mary has 54 socks and 9 shirts. Each each produce an average of 40 eggs. Answers will vary.
