Answer 1

If triangle DEF has sides measuring 50, 40, and 32, is the triangle a right triangle? If it is a right triangle, answer with the number 90. If it is not a right triangle, answer with the number 0

Answer 2

If a right triangle has a leg with length 12 and the hypotenuse is 16, how long is the other leg? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary

Answer 3

Find the slant height of the square pyramid.
the height is 15 and the base is 16

Answer 4

To determine if a triangle with sides measuring 60, 75, and 45 is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. A right triangle satisfies the condition \( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \), where \( c \) is the longest side.

Here, the sides are:

- \( a = 45 \)
- \( b = 60 \)
- \( c = 75 \) (the longest side)

Now we calculate \( c^2 \) and \( a^2 + b^2 \):

- \( c^2 = 75^2 = 5625 \)
- \( a^2 + b^2 = 45^2 + 60^2 = 2025 + 3600 = 5625 \)

Since \( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \) (i.e., \( 5625 = 5625 \)), the triangle is indeed a right triangle.

The correct response is: **Yes, because 5,625 equals 5,625.**

Answer 5

To determine if triangle DEF with sides measuring 50, 40, and 32 is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The longest side is taken as the hypotenuse.

Here, the sides are:

- \( a = 32 \)
- \( b = 40 \)
- \( c = 50 \) (the longest side)

Now we check if \( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \):

- \( c^2 = 50^2 = 2500 \)
- \( a^2 + b^2 = 32^2 + 40^2 = 1024 + 1600 = 2624 \)

Since \( 2500 \) does not equal \( 2624 \), triangle DEF is not a right triangle.

Therefore, the answer is **0**.

Answer 6

To find the length of the other leg in a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:

\[
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\]

where \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse, and \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the legs.

In this case:
- Let \( a = 12 \) (one leg)
- Let \( c = 16 \) (the hypotenuse)
- Let \( b \) be the length of the other leg, which we want to find.

Substituting the known values into the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
16^2 = 12^2 + b^2
\]

Calculating the squares:

\[
256 = 144 + b^2
\]

Now, subtract \( 144 \) from both sides:

\[
256 - 144 = b^2
\]

\[
112 = b^2
\]

Now, take the square root of both sides:

\[
b = \sqrt{112}
\]

Calculating \( \sqrt{112} \):

\[
b \approx 10.583
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
b \approx 10.6
\]

Therefore, the length of the other leg is approximately **10.6**.

Answer 7

To find the slant height of a square pyramid, we can use the following formula:

\[
l = \sqrt{h^2 + \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2}
\]

where:
- \( l \) is the slant height,
- \( h \) is the vertical height of the pyramid, and
- \( b \) is the length of the base (one side of the square base).

In this case:
- The height \( h = 15 \)
- The base \( b = 16 \)

First, we calculate \( \frac{b}{2} \):

\[
\frac{b}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8
\]

Now we substitute the values into the slant height formula:

\[
l = \sqrt{15^2 + 8^2}
\]

Calculating the squares:

\[
l = \sqrt{225 + 64}
\]
\[
l = \sqrt{289}
\]

Now, take the square root:

\[
l = 17
\]

Thus, the slant height of the square pyramid is **17**.
