Directions: This assignment deals will the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this assignment, you will design a spread to determine the third side of a right triangle. For the second part of the assignment, you will design a spreadsheet that will check to see if three numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.
This assignment has 15 questions and is worth 15 points.
Problems 1-5: Given 2 sides of a right triangle, find the length of the hypotenuse.
1) a = 3, b = 4, c =
2) a = 5, b = 12, c =
3) a = 15, b = 16, c =
4) a = 6, b = 8, c =
5) a = 13, b = 17, c =
Problems 6-10: Given the hypotenuse and the side of a right triangle, find the missing side of the right triangle.
6) a = 12, c = 20, b =
7) a = 9, c = 20, b =
8) b = 15, c = 17, a =
9) a = 40 , c = 41, b =
10) a = 6, c = 13, b =
