Answer:

3,4,5 is the Pythagorean triplet

Step-by-step explanation:

A pythagorean triplet is when you have 3 consecutive numbers (for example 1,2,3 or 9,10,11). So since they've already given one of the numbers you can try doing trial and error to find out(use different combinations like 3,4,5 or 4,5,6) and see whether the Pythagoras theorem applies to it.

Unit 7 polygons & quadrilaterals homework 3: rectangles Gina Wilson answer key

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In the image attached you can find the Unit 7 homework.

We need to findt he missing measures of each figure.

Notice that the first figure is a rectangle, which means opposite sides are congruent so,

VY = 19

WX = 19

YX = 31

VW = 31

To find the diagonals we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where the diagonals are hypothenuses.

$VX^{2}=19^{2}+31^{2}\\ VX=\sqrt{361+961}=\sqrt{1322} \\VX \approx 36.36$

Also, $YW \approx 36.36$ , beacuse rectangles have congruent diagonals, which intercect equally.

That means, $ZX = \frac{VX}{2} \approx \frac{36.36}{2}\approx 18.18$

Figure number two is also a rectangle.

If GH = 14, that means diagonal GE = 28, because diagonals intersect in equal parts.

Now, GF = 11, because rectangles have opposite sides congruent.

DF = 28, because in a reactangle, diagonals are congruent.

HF = 14, because its half of a diagonal.

To find side DG, we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, where GE is hypothenuse

$GE ^{2}=11^{2}+DG^{2}\\28^{2}-11^{2}=DG^{2}\\DG=\sqrt{784-121}=\sqrt{663}\\ DG \approx 25.75$

This figure is also a rectangle, which means all four interior angles are right, that is, equal to 90°, which means angle 11 and the 59° angle are complementary, so

$\angle 11 +59\°=90\°\\\angle 11=90\°-59\°\\\angle 11=31\°$

Now, angles 11 and 4 are alternate interior angles which are congruent, because a rectangle has opposite congruent and parallel sides.

$\angle 4 = 31\°$

Which means $\angle 3 = 59\°$ , beacuse it's the complement for angle 4.

Now, $\angle 6 = 59\°$ , because it's a base angle of a isosceles triangle. Remember that in a rectangle, diagonals are congruent, and they intersect equally, which creates isosceles triangles.
