MAKEUP: Flashcardizz: Pythagorean Theorem (flashcardizz)

Front

What is the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Front

What type of triangle does the Pythagorean Theorem apply to?

Back

Right triangle

Front

If a = 3 and b = 4, what is the length of c?

Back

5 (using a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Front

If one side of a right triangle is 6 and the other is 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

10 (using a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Front

Can the Pythagorean Theorem be used for obtuse triangles?

Back

No, it only applies to right triangles.

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 5, 12, and 13, is it a right triangle?

Back

Yes, because 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2.

Front

What is the value of x in a right triangle if a = 9 and b = 12?

Back

x = 15 (using a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Front

What does 'c' represent in the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

The length of the hypotenuse.

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 7, 24, and 25, is it a right triangle?

Back

Yes, because 7^2 + 24^2 = 25^2.
