Select the procedure that can be used to show the converse of the Pythagorean theorem using side lengths chosen from 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and

5 cm

The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached an image that forms the complete question.

The converse Pythagorean theorem states that, "If the square of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the square of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle."

That is if c is the longest side of a triangle and then a and b are the other sides, then if,

c² = a² + b², the triangle is a right triangle.

Looking at all the options, option C fits the theorem well. Because

3² + 4² = 5² implies the triangle is a right triangle and the converse theorem is established.

The option D also looks close, but it's not correct because you can just draw any two sides and put the right angle in between them. The longest is always the part of the triangle that is opposite to the right angle, 90°. If for instance, you draw 3 and 5 then put the right angle in between them, 4 will take the position of the longest side which is wrong.

Therefore, the correct option is c.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
