Determine whether the given lengths are sides of a right triangle? Explain.

5.2, 6.5, 3.9

42.25 = 42.25

Yes, because a2 + b2 = c2.

Page 14: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

x + 7 = 55

x = 48

55 + (48 + 7) + y = 180

110 + y = 180

y = 170

Find the value of x and y.

Page 15: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

x = 45

9y = 45

y = 5

Find the value of x and y.

Page 16: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

Find the value of x.This is an isosceles triangle, so the 2 sides are congruent…

5x + 5 = 35

5x = 30

x = 6

Page 17: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

This is an isosceles triangle, so the 2 angles are congruent…

9x = 72

x = 8

Find the value of x.

Page 18: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

x + x + 102 = 180

2x + 102 = 180

2x = 78

x = 39

Find the value of x.

Page 19: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

Find the value of x and y.

3x – 11 = 2x + 11

x = 22

2y = 70y = 35

Page 20: The wall at the front entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is an isosceles triangle. The triangle has a vertex angle

Check for right angles by checking the slopes. There is a right angle in the triangle if any of the slopes

are perpendicular.

The slope of OP is 2 – 0 – 2 – 0

= – 2.

The slope of OQ is 3 – 0 6 – 0

=21 .

PQO is a right triangle because the slopes of the legs have opposite signs and reciprocals which means they are perpendicular and form a right angle.

Using slopes, determine if PQO is a right triangle. Explain.
