A parking lot has four sides. One pair of opposite sides are 100 yards long. The other two sides are 60 yards long. The distance from one end of the longer side to the opposite end of the shorter side is 120 yards. Is the parking lot a rectangle? Answer the questions below to find out. 5. If the distances given form a right triangle, which number is the hypotenuse, and why?

6. Which numbers are the two sides?

The parking lot does not form a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: One pair of opposite sides of parking lot are 100 yards long. The other two sides are 60 yards long.

The distance from one end of the longer side to the opposite end of the shorter side is 120 yards.

To find: If the distances given form a right triangle?

Also, to find the hypotenuse and the numbers which represent the two sides.

Solution:

In a triangle, if the square of the length of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is said to be a  right angled triangle.

So, the triangle is not a right angled triangle.

So, none of the angles of the parking lot forming a quadrilateral is equal to .

Hence, the parking lot is not a rectangle although the opposite sides are equal.

(A quadrilateral in which opposite sides are equal such each angle is is a rectangle )

The distances given do not form a right triangle.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
