Question

1. Find the length of the leg, X. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form (picture 1)

2. A triangle has sides of lengths 27, 79, and 84. Is it a right triangle? Explain.

A.) yes. 27^2 + 79^2 = 84^2
B.) yes. 27^2 + 79^2 ≠ 84^2
C.) no. 27^2 + 79^2 = 84^2
D.) no. 27^2 + 79^2 ≠ 84^2

Answer 1

I think it is C..... good luck

Answer 2

1) = 12√ 2 (it's supposed to be a square root symbol. it doesn't really look like it but that's what it is)


For this problem, the triangle is a 45, 45, 90 special triangle. The legs will be x√ 2 and the hypotenuse will be x

2) D 27^2 + 29^2 is not equal to 84
