Right triangle is 3 cms, 4cms and 5 cms,
Squares, 1. 3 cms, 3 cms, 3 cms,
area = 9 cms, 2. 4 cms, 4 cms, 4 cms,
area = 16 cms, 3. 5 cms, 5 cms,5 cms,
area = 25 cms, Side lengths in squares increased by 1 cm and so areas increased,

Explanation:
Given squares are of lengths and areas of 1. 3 cms, 3 cms, 3 cms,
area = 3 cms X 3 cms = 9 cms, 2. 4 cms, 4 cms, 4 cms,
area = 4 cms X 4 cms = 16 cms, 3. 5 cms, 5 cms,5 cms,
area = 5 cms X 5 cms, 25 cms and the given squares form a right triangle let a,b and c be the side lengths as we know c2 = a2 + b2, So we have sides as 3 cms and 4 cms we get c2 = 32 + 42 , c2 = 25,
now value of c is square root of 25 = 5 cms. Side lengths in sqaures increased by 1 cm
and so areas increased.

unknown side length applying Pythagorean theorem a2 + b2 = c2 ,
52 + b2 = 132, 25 + b2 = 169, b2= 169 – 25 = 144, So the value of b is square root of
144 which is 12 cm.

Question 7.
Which are examples of Pythagorean triples? Select all that apply.
(A) 6, 8, 10
(B) 8, 10, 12
(C) 10, 16, 15
(D) 12, 16, 20
(E) 14, 18, 20
Answer:
(A) 6, 8, 10,
(D) 12, 16, 20,

Explanation:
Given to find the examples of Pythagorean triples as we know a Pythagorean triple consists of three
positive integers a, b, and c, such that a2 + b2 = c2 , So checking bit (A) 6, 8, 10 we have
62 + 82 = c2, 36 + 64 = c2, 100 = c2 and c is sqaure root of 100 which is 10  matches,
Checking with bit (B) 8, 10, 12 we have 82 + 102 = c2, 64 + 100 = c2, 164 = c2 and c is sqaure root of 164 which is 12.8 which is not matching with 12, Checking with bit (C) 10, 16, 15 we have
102 + 162 = c2, 100 + 256 = c2,
356 = c2 and c is sqaure root of 356 which is 18.86 which
is not matching with 15,
Checking with bit (D) 12, 16, 20 we have
122 + 162 = c2,
144 + 256 = c2,
400 = c2 and c is sqaure root of 400 which is 20 matches,
Checking with bit (E) 14, 18, 20 we have
142 + 182 = c2,
196 + 324 = c2,
520 = c2 and c is sqaure root of 520 which is 22.8 which is not matching with 20, therefore the examples of Pythagorean triples are bits (A) 6, 8, 10 and (D) 12, 16, 20.

Question 8.
A right triangle has leg lengths of 12 inches and 9 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
__________ inches
Answer:
15 inches,

Explanation:
Given a right triangle has leg lengths of 12 inches and 9 inches.
Let c be the length of the hypotenuse applying Pythagorean theorem
a2 + b2 = c2, 122 + 92 = c2, 144 + 81 = c2, 225 = c2,
So the value of c is square root of 225 which is 15 inches.

Question 9.
A right triangle has leg lengths of 7 feet and 8 feet. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Round to the nearest tenth.
_________ feet
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is approximately 11 feet,

Explanation:
Given a right triangle has leg lengths of 7 feet and 8 feet.
Let c be the length of the hypotenuse applying Pythagorean theorem a2 + b2 = c2 ,
72 + 82 = c2, 49 + 64 = c2, 113 = c2, So the value of c is square root of 113 which is 10.63 feet
round to the nearest tenth is 11 feet.

y = 1 – x
y = 5 – 2x
Answer:
Into Math Grade 8 Module 11 Lesson 1 Answer Key Prove the Pythagorean Theorem-3
Point of intersection is at (4,-3), So values of x is 4 and y is -3,

Explanation:
Solving the system of equations y = 1 – x, y = 5 – 2x, y = 1 – x, so y = mx + b means
y = -x + 1, here m is -1 and y – intercept b = 1 and if x = 0, y = 1, x = 1, y = 0,
x = 2, y = -1, if x = 3, y = -2,if x = 4, y = -3, if x = 5,
y = -4, (0,1),(1,0), (2, -1), (3,-2) ,(4,-3),(5,-4),
Now y = 5 – 2x, y = -2x + 5, here m = -2 and y – intercept b = 5 and
if x = 0, y = 1, if x = 1, y= 3, if x = 2, y = 1, if x = 3, y = -1,
if x = 4, y = -3, if x =5, y = -5, So (0,5), (1,3),(2,1),(3,-1),(4,-3),(5,-5),
now pointing on graph above as shown we get point of intersection at (4,-3) now checking in equations as y = 1 – x, substituing x as 4 in y = 1- 4 = -3 which is true, now y as -3 we get -3 = 1 – x, x= 1 + 3 = 4 which is true, now checking in y = 5 – 2x substituting x as 4 in
y = 5 – 2 X 4 = 5 – 8 = -3  which is true and now y as -3 we get -3 = 5 – 2x, 2x = 5 + 3, x = 8/2 = 4 which is true, therefore, values of x is 4 and y is -3.

Question 11.
Order the numbers from least to greatest.
\(\frac{10}{4}\), -3, \(\sqrt {8}\) , 2.7
Answer:
Least to greatest are -3, \(\frac{10}{4}\), 2.7, \(\sqrt {8}\),

Explanation:
Given to find order the numbers from least to greatest as \(\frac{10}{4}\) = 2.5 and \(\sqrt {8}\) = 2.82, So -3 < \(\frac{10}{4}\) < 2.7 < \(\sqrt {8}\),
therefore the order of the numbers from least to greatest are -3, \(\frac{10}{4}\), 2.7, \(\sqrt {8}\).
