Question

applying the converse of the pythagorean theorem
janice examines the given triangle and estimates that the longest side has a length of 25 units—if it is a right triangle. how does her estimate compare to the actual length?
○ it is exactly correct.
○ it is under by approximately 0.6 units.
○ it is over by approximately 0.6 units.
○ it is over by 13 units.

Étapes de solution

  1. Understand the question

    applying the converse of the pythagorean theorem
    janice examines the given triangle and estimates that the longest side has a length of 25 units—if it is a right triangle. how does her estimate compare to the actual length?
    ○ it is exactly correct.
    ○ it is under by approximately 0.6 units.
    ○ it is over by approximately 0.6 units.
    ○ it is over by 13 units.

  2. Explanation

    Step1: Calculate hypotenuse of right triangle

    $$c = \sqrt{16^2 + 20^2}$$
    $$c = \sqrt{256 + 400} = \sqrt{656} \approx 25.612$$

    Step2: Compare estimate to actual value

    $$25.612 - 25 = 0.612 \approx 0.6$$

  3. Final answer

    It is under by approximately 0.6 units.
