c) Maria, because she walked 97m further than Walter.




a² = c² - b²
a² = 80cm² - 79cm²
a² = ( 80 x 80 ) - ( 79 x 79 )
a² = 6,400cm² - 6,241cm²
a² = 159cm²

5.Martin measured a rectangle and wrote: Width: 9 cm Length: 22 cm Diagonal: 23.8 cm
Could these measurements form a rectangle? Justify your answer.


a²+b²=c²
22²+9²=c²
(22x22)+(9x9)=c²
484cm2+81cm 2=565
√565cm²≠ 566.44
This can't form a rectangle because a and b does not equal c.

7.What is the height of the wheelchair ramp? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.

a²=c²-b²
80²-79²=a²
6400-6241=159
159cm²=a²
√159cm=√a²
12.6cm²=a
The height of the wheelchair ramp is 12.6cm.

13.A cruise ship travels from Port Cassett north at a speed of 34 km/h for 2.5 h. Then it turns 90° and travels west at 30 km/h for 7.3 h. When it reaches Green Sea Island, how far is the ship from Port Cassett? Express your answer to the nearest kilometre.

a²+b²=c² 34x2.5=8.5
219²+8.5²=c² 30x7.3=219
(219x219)+(8.5x8.5)=c2

Carl's Homeworkbook Scibe Post

I have chosen to do the questions 4,7, and 8 in the homework book on page 33.
4. 6m2-1m2=h
36m-1m=35m
✓35m=5.9m

The ladder reaches 5.9m up the wall.

7. width=17cm
length=26cm
diagonal line=31cm
17cm2+26cm2=31cm2
289cm+676cm=961cm.

The quadrilateral is not a rectangle because 289cm +676cm does not equal 961cm, it equals 965.

8. 20 km/h for 10h west equals 200km
20 km/h for 7 1/2h south equals 150km
200km2 +150km2=?
40,000km + 22,500km= 62500km
✓62,500km =250km2

The ship is 250km away from the port.

c = 10m

b)

b² + a² = c²
b² + 15² = 39²

a = 10.2cm

8. Ellie and Lucas are going the skateboard park to try out the new ramp. Is the new ramp a right triangle? Explain your thinking.
a² + b² = c²

2² + 3² = 5²

4 + 9 = 13
13 ≠ 15 (5²)


No, it is not a right triangle because it doesn't equal the hypotenuse/5².

Jack must determine the side length of a right triangle. He decides to draw it, and then measure it, as shown. Do you agree with the method that Jack is using? Explain .

I agree with the method Jack is using, because once he knows what the two side lengths are, he can find the hypotenuse.

Question 2:

Kira calculated the missing side length of the right triangle.


Is Kira correct ? If she is correct, explain how you know. If she is incorrect, explain the correct method.

a. Sketch the triangle. Draw a square on each side of the triangle.

b. What are the areas of the three squares?















c. Write an addtion statement with the areas of the three squares



















10. A triangle has side lenght of 120 mm, 160 mm, and 200 mm. Is the triangle a right triangle? Explain your reasoning.


The triangle is a right angle because both the legs of the triangle is equal to the area of the hypotenuse.




Legs: Hypotenuse:

120 x 120 = 14400 200 x 200 = 40000

160 x 160 = 25600

14400 + 25600 = 40000

Answers to 3, 8, 11, 16.

3. Kendra is wrong because 'p' is the hypotenuse.



8. If the triangle shown in the text book is a right angle than hypotenuse should be 60cm² because 20cm²+40cm² =60cm² .



11. a² + b² = c²

(6x6) + (5x5) = 8x8

36cm² + 25cm² = 61cm²

61cm² = 64cm²

-Since 61cm² does not equal 64cm² it is not a right triangle.


16. a² + b² = c²

(12x12) + (20x20) = c²

144cm² + 400cm² = 544cm²

√544cm² = 23.32cm

-Baldeep can be sure his box can be square by measuring the hypotenuse.

4. e. 30x30= 900mm

f. 40x40= 1600mm
The area of e. is 900 square millimeters
The area of g. is 2500 square millimeters
The area of f. is 1600 square millimeters

9. a) 4x4=16 square cm.
2x2= 4 square cm.
3x3=9 square cm.

b) This is not a right triangle because 2 squared + 3squared doesn't equal 4 squared

12. a) a. squared + b. squared = c. squared
20 + 32 = 52 square cm.
b) a. squared + b. squared = c. squared
100 + 576 = 676 square mm.
c) c. squared - b squared = a. squared
90 - 25 = 65 square cm.
When the hypotenuse is there but one of the leg is missing, I figure it out that when you subtract the one of the legs to the hypotenuse, you will get the missing leg.

d) a. squared + b. squared = c. squared
12 + 12 = 24 square cm.

17. a) a. squared + b. squared = c. squared
21 squared + 28 squared = c .squared
441 + 784 = 1225 square cm.
b) a. squared + b. squared = c. squared

10. A triangle has side lengths of 120mm, 160mm, and 200mm. Is the triangle a right triangle? Explain your reasoning.
Yes, this is a right triangle because the sum of the area of each leg, is equal to the area of the hypotenuse.
a(squared)+b(squared)=c(squared)
120(squared)+160(squared)=200(squared)
14,400(squared)+25,600(squared)=40,000(squared)

15. Construction workers have begun to dig a hole for a swimming pool. They want to check that the angle they have dug is 90 degrees. They measure the diagonal as shown to be 9.5m. Is the angle 90 degrees? Explain your reasoning.

No, the angle is not 90 degrees because the sum of the area of each leg, is not equal to the area of the hypotenuse.
19. A right triangle has a square attached to each side. Two of the squares have areas of 10cm(squared) and 15cm(squared). What are the possible areas for the third square? Draw a sketch for each solution.
There is only one possible area for the third square, and that is the sum of the area of each leg: 25cm(squared). There is only one possible area because it is a right triangle.
