Multiple choice

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is known as the Pythagorean theorem. If the two shorter sides of a right triangle are 3 and 4 units long, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

  1. 5

  2. 7

  3. 9

  4. 11
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have: (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) where (a) and (b) are the lengths of the shorter sides and (c) is the length of the hypotenuse. Substituting the given values, we get: (3^2 + 4^2 = c^2) (9 + 16 = c^2) (25 = c^2) (c = \sqrt{25}) (c = 5) Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 5 units.

Multiple choice

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is known as the Pythagorean theorem. If the length of one leg of a right triangle is 6 cm and the length of the hypotenuse is 10 cm, what is the length of the other leg?

  1. 4 cm

  2. 8 cm

  3. 12 cm

  4. 16 cm

B Correct answer
Explanation

Let x be the length of the other leg of the right triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem, we have x^2 + 6^2 = 10^2. Solving for x, we get x^2 = 100 - 36 = 64. Therefore, x = 8 cm.

  4. 75°
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let x be the measure of the complementary angle. Then, the measure of the angle that is twice the size of its complementary angle is 2x. Since the sum of the two angles is 90 degrees, we have x + 2x = 90. Solving for x, we get x = 30. Therefore, the measure of the angle that is twice the size of its complementary angle is 2x = 2 * 30 = 60 degrees.
