Multiple Select

Which equation can be used to solve the word problem: the diagonal of a t.v. is 40 inches and the height is 30. How wide is the t.v.? Check all that apply

30² + 40² = c²

a² + 40² = 30²

30² + b² = 40²

40² + 30² = c²

a² + 30² = 40²

Multiple Select

Based on the diagram, choose all the statements that are true.

Multiple Choice

Alan made a small four-sided table for his office. The opposite sides of the table are 27 inches long and 36 inches long. If the diagonal of the table measures 40 inches, does the table have right angles at the corners? Why or why not?

Yes, because it's a rectangle and rectangles have 90 degree angles in the corners

Yes, because 27 and 36 are less than 40

No, because 27²+36² does not equal 40²

No, because 27+36 does not equal 40

Multiple Choice

Isabella has sticks that are 10cm, 11cm, and 13cm long. Can she place the sticks together to form a right triangle? Justify your answer.

No, because 10+11 does not equal 13

No, because 100+121 does not equal 169

Yes, because there is a small side, medium side and long side

Yes, because a triangle has 3 sides
