To determine which triangle Carlos calculated the missing side length for using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to look for a triangle with two known side lengths and a right angle.
Triangle A has side lengths labeled as 2 and 3, and also includes a right angle. Therefore, Carlos most likely used the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the missing side length for Triangle A.
Carlos calculated the missing side length of one of these triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. Which triangle is it? (5 points)
Four triangles A, B, C, D are shown from left to right. Triangle A has a side labeled as 2 and another side labeled as 3, and the included right angle is shown. Triangle B has one side labeled as 3 and the other as 6 and the included obtuse angle is shown. Triangle C has one side labeled as 2 and the other also as 2 and the included acute angle is shown. Triangle D has one side labeled as 6 and the other as 7, and the included acute angle is shown.
