1. In a right triangle, the lengths of the legs are a and b. Find the length of a hypotenuse, if: a=1, b=1; 2. In a right triangle, the length of a hypotenuse is c and the length of one leg is a. Find the length of the other leg, if: c=5, a=3;

1. .

2. b = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these two questions, keep the Pythagorean Theorem in mind: . Also remember that measurements cannot be negative, so we will disregard the negative answers.

1. a = 1, and b = 1. c = ?

2. a = 3, c = 5. b = ?

Hope this helps!

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )
