Pythagorean Relationship - The relationship between the lengths of the 2 sides of a right triangle
3.
the question is if the triangle is a right triangle

its legs are 6cm and 8 cm the legs are commonly the 2 smaller number and the largest number in the triangle is the hypotenuse


so to find if its a right triangle is:

8cm= a
6cm= b
11cm= c


c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 62
c2 = (8x8)+ (6x6)
c2 = 64cm2 +36 cm 2
c2 = 100

_ _
/c2 = /100 cm2

= 10 cm 2

c2 = 10 x 10
the answer is = NO its not a perfect square 10 = 11

Edel's Scribe Post Dec. 5

Discount, Sale Price, Total Price

Discount = what you save
Sale Price = What you pay after discount
Total Price = sale price and the taxes

1.) Jeans $75 = 15% off
What I did to find the discount is I have to find 1% so I divide 75 by 100 and its equals to 0.75 and now I multiply 0.75 to 15 which is equals to 11.25
So the discount is 15% which is $11.25


here are the equations to understand it more easier

75 divided by 100 = 0.75
0.75 x 15 = 11.25

The sale price is $63.75 Its really easy to get because you just have to subtract the discount to the total price.

2.) iPod $285 = 5% off
The way I found the discount price in here is also the same on number 1 find the 1% I divided 285 by 100 which is $2.85 the I just multiply it by 5% which is $14.25 . So the discount is $14.25.

The sale price is easy to get its the same way I did in number 1 I subtract $285 to $14.25

Thanks for reading my scribe post and if I made any mistakes or if I miss anything just comment below.
