Example Question #513 : Geometry
Justin travels to the east and to the north. How far away from his starting point is he now?
This is solving for the hypotenuse of a triangle. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, which says that
Example Question #461 : Grade 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the line shown on the provided coordinate plane. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Notice that the diagonal line from the problem could be the hypotenuse of a right triangle. If we add two more lines, then we can create a closed figure in the shape of a triangle:
Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the line that represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that for right triangles:
In this equation:
We can count the number of units on the coordinate plane that were used to create the legs of our drawn triangle. Afterwards, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the hypotenuse, or the original diagonal line.
In order to solve for this problem we want to substitute in the known side lengths for the triangle's legs:
