Answers to Homework 11) 12 2 + (12 √3 ) 2 = 24 2 144 + 432 = 576 Right Triangle 12) 5 2 + ( √60 ) 2 = 8 2 25 + 60 > 64 Acute Triangle 13) PR 2 + RQ 2 = PQ 2 ( √10 ) 2 + ( √20 ) 2 = ( √26 ) 2 10 + 20 > 26 Acute Triangle 14) (a) 2 + (b) 2 = (c) 2 (2n) 2 + (n 2 - 1) 2 = (n 2 + 1) 2 4n 2 + n 4 - 2 n 2 + 1 = n 4 + 2 n 2 + 1 2 n 2 + 1 = 2 n 2 + 1 Yes, this method will work because both sides of the equation are equal. 15) StatementsReasons 1. AB = 4, BC = 2, AC = √10 1. Given 2. AB 2 + AC 2 = BC 2 2. Pythagorean Theorem 3. 2 2 + ( √10) 2 = 4 2 3. Substitution 4. 14 < 164. Substitution 5. ABC is an obtuse triangle 5. Pythagorean Theorem Converse 6. ABC is acute angle 6. Definition of obtuse triangle 7. 1 is an acute angle 7. Vertical Angles are Congruent
