What is the length of the hypotenuse, c, of the following right angle


triangles? Show all work.

10. a=3; b=4; c=? 13. a = 9 ; b = 12 ; c = ?


11. a=6; b=8; c=? 14. a = 15 ; b = 20 ; c = ?
12. a = 12 ; b = 5 ; c = ? 15. a = 8 ; b = 10 ; c = ?

Do the following lengths create right triangles? Show Proof.


16. 5, 12, 13 19. 1, 5, 7
17. 4, 19, 34 20. 6, 8, 10
18. 26, 10, 24 21. 12, 35, 20

Word Problems: Draw an image for each word problem and then solve
the problem. Show all work for each problem.
22. A ladder is leaning against the side of a 10 m house. If the base of
the ladder is 3 m away from the house, how tall is the ladder?
Please draw a diagram and show all work.

23. A quarterback at Point A throws the football to reciever who catches it at Point B.
How long was the pass?

A2 a=6
B2 b
C2 = 100 c
24. Two trains left Metropolis at the same time. One
traveled south at 50mph. The other traveled east at 40 mph. How far part were the trains
at the end of 1 hour?

25. In shop class, you make a table. The sides of the table measure 36" and 18". If the
diagonal of the table measures 43", is the table “square”? (In construction, the term
"square” just means the table has right angles at the corners.)
