4. Find the height of the pole where the guy wire is attached,
to the nearest tenth of a meter.

10msq+2msq=
100m+4m=
104m
√104m=10.19


7. What is the height of the wheelchair ramp? Give you answer to
the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

80cmsq+79cmsq=
6,400m+6,241m=

12,641m

√12,641m=112.4

13. A cruise ship travels from Port Cassett north at speed of 34km/h

for 2.5 h. Then turns 90° and travels west at 30 km/h for 7.3 h. When it

235km

Pythagoras Scribe Edit

1.Answer in a short paragraph and with diagrams

The Pythagorean relationship means that the sum of the two side lengths (a and b)

should equal the hypotenuse ( C ).

2. The way to solve the missing side length.

a2+b2=c2

12cm^2+5cm^2=c2

144cm+25cm=

169cm=c2

√169cm=√c2

13cm=c2

The hypotenuse is 13cm

3. Is this a right triangle? Prove it!!!

a2+b2=c2

8cm2+6cm2=c2

(8x8)+(6x6)=

64cm+36cm=

100cm

√100cm=√C2

10cm

The hypotenuse is 10cm.
