Answer:
5) B. 10, 24, 26
6) k = 8.5
Explanation:
5) The a and b in context of the triangle have to be greater than the hypotenuse. It can’t equal the hypotenuse. 10 + 24 = 34, 34 > 26 Therefore our answer.
6) Our equation: c = sqrt of a^2 + b^2
C = sqrt of 3^2 + 8^2
*A= 3 B = 8*
C = sqrt of 9 + 64
C = square root of 73
C = 8.54 or 8.5
Giving our answer:
You could always check by listing the values of each side:
A=3 B=8 C=8.5
3, 8, 8.5
And up A and B: 3 + 8 = 11
11 > 8.5
Proving this is a right triangle!
Btw sqrt means square root! ;)
Hope this helps, good luck! :)
