C) Millennium Park has an outdoor concert theater. Before a concert, the area reserved for special seating is roped off in the shape of a triangle . How can the converse of the Pythagorean theorem help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle?

The converse of the Pythagorean theorem can help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle because you use the side lengths of each square and enter them into the equation, and if the equation is true, then it is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
