Answer:
1) 2² + 5² = ?²
2) 6² + ?² = 9²
3) 8² + 16² = ?²
4) 8² + ?² = 10²
Step-by-step explanation:
Because these are all right triangles, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
Where c is the hypotenuse, the longest side of the triangle. It can be identified as being across from the right angle of the right triangle.
The legs are the two other sides of the triangle and they are interchangeable when placed in the Pythagorean Theorem.
