Question

Pythagorean Theorem

Can someone help me solve this I don't understand it that well and it's due tomorrow

Answer 1

the first is a ratio of 3-4-5 triangle. the scaled up version would be 6-8-10.

for problem 2, it is a special triangle of 8-15-17

search up special triangles to have a faster answer :)

Answer 2

1) 6^2 + 8^2 = x^2

36 + 64 = x^2

100 = x^2

x = 10 feet

2) 15^2 + 8^2 = x^2

225 + 64 = x^2

x ^ 2 = 289

guy rope = 17 feet
