Question
Drag and drop the given set of measurements into the correct box to describe whether the measurements can describe the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle or not.
Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse.
Could Be the Sides of a Right Triangle Cannot Be the Sides of a Right Triangle
I'm sorry, but as an AI text-based interface, I don't have the ability to interact with or see drag-and-drop elements.
However, I can explain how to determine if a given set of measurements can describe the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle: this is determined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
For a set of three lengths, let's call them a, b, and c, with c being the longest side, the Pythagorean theorem can be tested by checking the following equation:
a² + b² = c²
If this equation holds true, then the measurements can be the sides of a right triangle. If not, they cannot be the sides of a right triangle.
To use this in a drag-and-drop activity, you would calculate or estimate this equation for each set of three measurements given. If you tell me the specific sets of measurements, I can help you determine which ones could be the sides of a right triangle.
