  1. a2+b2=c2
    20cm2 + 40cm2= 50cm2
    (20x20=400)+(40x40=1600)=(50x50=2500)
    400cm2 + 1600cm2= 2000cm2
    400cm2 + 1600cm2 doesn't equal 2500cm2
    It is not a right triangle.

    a2+b2=c2
    2cm2 + 3cm2= 4cm2
    (2x2=4) + (3x3=9)= (4x4=16)
    4cm2 + 9cm2= 13cm2
    4cm2 + 9cm2= 13cm2 not 16cm2 so it is not a right triangle

    Question 8:
    The triangle is not a right triangle because if you apply a squared plus b squared equals c squared, it says that c=44.72 which is not correct.

    Question 9:
    The areas of the squares are:

    a=9cm
    b=4cm
    c=13cm

    Stations 1 and 2 were also done by Emily.

    a2+b2=c2
    40cm2+20cm2=50cm2
    60cm2 does not 50cm2

    9.


    a2+b2=c2
    2 squared + 3 squared=4 squared
    (2x2)+(3x3)=(4x4)
    4+9=16
    13 does not equal 16

    Neither are perfect squares because when you apply them to a2+b2=c2 the answer is not correct.

  5. a2+b2=c2(50cm2)
    40cm2+20cm2=60cm2
    50cm2 does not equal 60cm2 so it isn't a right triangle.


    a2+b2=c2 (c=4cm 4cm2= 16cm2)
    3cm2+2cm2=c2
    (3cmx3cm)+(2cmx2cm)=c2
    9cm2+4cm2=13cm2
    16cm2 does not equal 13cm2 so it is not a right triangle.

    These triangles are not right triangles because they do not follow the formula.

    (40x40)+(20x20)=(50x50)
    1600cm2+ 400cm2= 2500
    2000 doesnt = to 2500

    No Its not a right triangle because a2+b2 doesnt equal to the hypotenuse.

    Question 9.

    3cm2+2cm2= 4cm2
    (3x3)+(2x2)= (4x4)
    9cm2+ 4cm2= 16cm2
    13cm2 doesnt = to 16cm2

    No its not a right tirangle because 9cm2 + 4cm2= 13cm2, the hypotenuse is 16 cm2.

  21. Question 8:
    a² + b² = c²
    40 cm² + 20 cm² = 50 cm²
