What is the relationship between the sides of a 3-4-5 triangle?

In a 3-4-5 triangle, the lengths of the sides satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem: $$3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$$ .

How can you verify if a triangle is a right triangle using side lengths?

Check if the lengths satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem: If a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides, then check if $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ .

What is the distance formula derived from the Pythagorean Theorem?

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a coordinate plane is given by: $$d = \text{sqrt}((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)$$ .

What is the significance of the Pythagorean Theorem in real-life applications?

The Pythagorean Theorem is used in various fields such as construction, navigation, and physics to calculate distances and angles.

If a right triangle has legs of lengths 9 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: $$c = \text{sqrt}(9^2 + 12^2) = \text{sqrt}(81 + 144) = \text{sqrt}(225) = 15$$ .

What is the area of a right triangle with a base of 8 feet and a height of 6 feet?

The area A is given by: $$A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24 \text{ square feet}$$ .

How do you find the length of a diagonal in a rectangular field?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: If the lengths of the sides are a and b, then the diagonal d is given by: $$d = \text{sqrt}(a^2 + b^2)$$ .

What is the formula for the perimeter of a right triangle?

The perimeter P of a right triangle is the sum of the lengths of all three sides: $$P = a + b + c$$ .
