Question

EASY 5 POINTS!!! Choose the equation that correctly uses the Pythagorean Theorem for the given right triangle.

Answer 1

The correct answer is g^2 + 2.5^2 = 4.5^2 because the formula for the pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2 = c^2 . Since the hypotnuse is the longest side of a triangle and c is the hypotnuse that is the correct answer trust me.

^2 = squared

Answer 2

Option C

Explanation:

In the given right angle triangle

Hypotenuse = 4.5 cm

Height = 2.5 cm

and base = g cm.

Pythagoras theorem says

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (height)²

So by putting the values in the formula

(4.5)² + (2.5)² + g²

Option C is the answer.
