Answer: No, the corners do not meet at right angles because 17² + 26² ≠ 31²
8. A ship leaves port heading due west. After travelling at a speed of 20 km/h for 10h, the ship makes a 90 degree turn and heads south, travelling south for 7.5 h, how far is the ship from the port? Show your work.
20 km/h for 10h west equals 200km 20 km/h for 7.5h south equals 150km 200 km² + 150km²=? 40,000km + 22,500km = 62500km ✓62,500km = 250km²
#15 The coordinate grid shown was drawn on centimetre grid paper. What is the length of line segment AB? Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.
Answer:
I got 2 cm for sidea and i got 4 cm for side b because i counted the units AB were taking up on the graph paper vertically and horizontally.
PS:
I know i wasn't assigned this scribe but Thessa didn't have the answer so I just wanted share what i got if people were curious about the answer.. I'm not exactly sure if I'm right but there you go (: sorry harbeck !
I first squared the two numbers then subtract them. After that I find the square root of the difference then I got 10cm.
9.Tianna wants to construct a path along the diagonal of her yard.What length will the path be?Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a metre.
12.The hypotenuse of the triangle cuts the circle in half.What is the diameter of the circle? express your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.
15.The coordinate grid shown was drawn on a centimetre grid paper. What is the length of the line segment AB. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.
Hope you all did your homework ! The pages were 91 - 94 . If you were stuck on any of of the following numbers ( 2, 7, 14, & 18. ) i hope this helped you .
2) A triangle has side lengths of 7cm, 11cm, & 15cm. Explain how you can determine whether or not it is a right triangle.
In order for a right triangle to be a right triangle , a2 + b2 = c2 . In this question a2 + b2 does not equal c2 . Therefore this triangle is not a right triangle.
7) The sides of a right triangle measure 9cm, 12cm, & 15cm.
a) What is the area of each square attached to the three sides of the right triangle?
a2=144cm
b2=81cm
c2=225cm
b) Write an addition statement showing the relationship between the areas of the three squares. c) Describe, using words and symbols, the relationship between the side lengths of each square.
- The area of square a2 + square b2 is equvilent to square c2.
14) Show whether each triangle in the table is a right triangle.
18)The diagram is made of two triangles and five squares.
The area of square x is 28cm²
b) What is the area of square Y?
The area of square Y is 16cm2 because the hypotenuse for the 2 triangles is 28cm², and side B is 12cm2, therefore 16cm2+12cm2 = 28cm2. I think the question is asking ___ + 12cm2 = 28cm2
3. For the triangle shown, Kenda wrote the Pythagorean relationship as r2 = p2 + q2. Is she correct? Explain.
She's not correct because the right formula would be q2 + r2 = p2 because the longest line is labeled p2 which is opposite from the right angle which makes it the hypoteneuse.
8. Is the triangle shown a right triangle? Explain your reasoning.
No, because in this case a + b doesn't equal to 50. a + b = 60
11. The side lenghts of a triangle are 5cm, 6cm, and 8cm. Determine whether the triangle is a right triangle. Explain.
16. Baldeep is building a wooden box for storing colored pencils. The box will have rectangular sides that are 12 cm wide and 20 cm long. Show how Baldeep can be sure the sides are rectangular, without using a protractor.
3. Kendra wrote the Phythagorean relationship as r2= p2 + q2. Is she correct ? Explain.
Kendra is incorrect.Leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2. Since the legs are r and q and the hypotenuse is p, It should be r2+q2=p2 or q2+r2=p2.
8. Is the triangle shown a right triangle ? Explain your answer.
The triangle is not a right triangle. For this triangle to be a right triangle, the area of the two smaller squares must equal the area of the larger one. Because a + b = 60 not 50.
11. The side lengths of a triangle are 5 cm, 6cm, and 8cm. Determine whether the triangle is a right triangle. explain.
It is not a right triangle since the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares aren't equal to the larger square. (6x6)= 36cm2 , (5x5)= 25cm2, 36+25=61. 61 doesn't equal 64.
16. Baldeep is building a wooden box for storing coloured pencils. The box will have rectangular sides that are 12 cm wide and 20 cm long. Show how Baldeep can be sure the sides are rectangular, without using a protractor.
A2 + B2 = C2 , (12x12)+(20x20)= C2, 144cm2 +400cm2= C2, 544cm2= C2. The box with be 544cm2.

Homework for the weekend : Pages 91-94 #1-21 My homework was questions 2, 7, 14, & 18.
2) A triangle has side lengths of 7cm, 11cm, & 15cm. Explain how you can determine whether or not it is a right triangle.
In order for a triangle to be a right triangle,a²+b²=c². In this case, a²+b² does NOT equal c²therefore, this is NOT a right triangle.
7) The sides of a right triangle measure 9cm, 12cm, & 15cm.
a) What is the area of each square attached to the three sides of the right triangle?
area for a²= 144cm² area for b²= 81cm² area for c²= 225cm²
b) Write an addition statement showing the relationship between the areas of the three squares.
c) Describe, using words and symbols, the relationship between the side lengths of each square. -The area sum of the squares a & b equals the area of square c.
14) Show whether each triangle in the table is a right triangle.
18)The diagram is made of two triangles and five squares.
a) What is the area of square X? The area of square X is 28cm²
b) What is the area of square Y? The area of square Y is 16cm² because the hypotenuse for the 2 triangles is 28cm², and side B is 12cm², therefore 16cm²+12cm² = 28cm². The question was basically asking, ' what + 12cm² = 28cm²? ', in my point of view.
