Asked by Robert
A triangle has points monkeys, giraffes, lions. The distance between lions and monkeys is 11 feet and monkey and giraffes is 16 feet. The distance between lions and giraffes is the hypotenuse of x feet.
Which equations will find the distance between the lions and giraffes? Select all that apply.
11+16 = c
112+ 162 = c2
c2+ 162 = 112
121+ 256 = c2
11(2)+16(2) = 2c

Correct choices: 112+ 162 = c2 and 121+ 256 = c2.
Written properly: 11^2 + 16^2 = c^2 and 121 + 256 = c^2 (Pythagorean theorem). So c = sqrt(121+256) = sqrt(377) ≈ 19.42 ft.
The others are incorrect (11+16=c is not Pythagorean; c^2+16^2=11^2 is the wrong arrangement; 11(2)+16(2)=2c is either ambiguous or wrong).
