Q

If you have a right triangle in which the hypotenuse is twice the length of one leg what do you know?

A

You know that the angles are 30 - 60 - 90

AND the leg that is half the length of the hypotenuse is opposite the 30 degree angle

Q

What is the Pythagorean theorem? And what is it used for?

A

Q

Which value in the Pythagorean theorem is always the greatest? And also the hypotenuse?

A

c!

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c^2 is the greatest value and the hypotenuse

Q

In triangles there is always a relationship between what two things?

A

An angle and the side that is across from that angle

Biggest angle across from biggest side
Smallest angle across from smallest side
Medium angle across from medium side

if an angle is equal to another angle then the sides across from them will be equal

Q

What are the Pythagorean triples?

What types of triangles do they apply to?

A

Right triangles
The biggest side is always the hypotenuse

3: 4:5
5: 12:13
6: 8:10
7: 24:25

and any multiples of these triples works too

17
Q

Parallelograms

A

Opposite sides are parallel and opposite sides are equal

18
Q

what is the formula for the area of a parallelogram?

A

a = bh

19
Q

A

6

20
Q

What can faces be measured in terms of?

A

area

21
Q

to find the surface area of a rectangular solid what do you need to do?

A

to find the surface area of a rectangular solid, find the sum, of the area of the 6 faces

22
Q

what are the vertices of a rectangular solid and how many are there?

A

the vertices are the corner of a rectangular solid

there are always 8 vertices

vertex and vertices are the same thing

23
Q

what is the one-dimensional side on a rectangular solid?

A

an edge, think the pencil line

24
Q

how many edges are there in a rectangular solid?

A

12 edges in a rectangular solid

25
