When do we use the Pythagorean Theorem?

• To find a missing angle in a right triangle

• To find the missing length of a right triangle

• To find the area of a right triangle

• To find the slope of a right triangle

A vertical pole is to be supported by a wire that is 50 feet long and anchored 30 feet from the base of the pole. How far up the pole should the wire be attached?

• 58.31 feet

• 8.94 feet

• 4.47 feet

• 40 feet

What is the correct set-up?

• a² - 4² = 4.1²

• a² + 4² = 4.1²

• 4.1² + 4² = c²

• 4.1² - 4² = c²

In a right triangle, if a = 8 and c = 17, what is the correct setup to find the value of b?
