What type of triangle is used in this example?

• Scalene triangle

• Equilateral triangle

• Isosceles triangle

• Right triangle

What does the Pythagorean theorem state?

• The sum of the lengths of the legs is equal to the length of the hypotenuse.

• The difference of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

• The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

• The product of the lengths of the legs is equal to the length of the hypotenuse.

What is the equation set up to find the value of X?

• 6^2 * 8^2 = x^2

• 6^2 - 8^2 = x^2

• 6^2 + 8^2 = x^2

• 6 + 8 = x

What is the value of 6 squared?

• 36

• 34

• 32

• 30

Why don't we use plus or minus 10 for the value of X?

• Because X is always negative.

• Because X represents the length of the hypotenuse, which cannot be negative.

• Because X is always positive.

• Because X is a variable.
