Question

R, S, and T represent the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle. Select the equation that represent the relationship between R, S and T. (the two's are exponents)

a. R 2+ S 2= T 2

b. R 2+ T 2 = S 2

c. R 2 + R 2= S 2

d. T 2 + S 2= R 2

e. T 2- S 2= R 2

Answer 1

a. R 2+ S 2= T 2

Explanation:

Is this multiple choice? If not, then I will explain my answer.

I would say that it is R² + S² = T² because, the original pythagorean theorem equation is a² + b² = c².

They are put in an alphabetical order, a, b, c.

R goes first in the alphabet, then S and T. So, that's why I say it is:

R² + S² = T²

I hope this helps! Please tell me if I'm incorrect! Have a great day may God bless you!

(Also, if you have a keyboard like mine, then you can make an exponent 2, by doing alt + 0178 )
