Question

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 as shown below. How can the converse of the Pythagorean theorem help you determine whether the roped off area is in the shape of a right triangle?


d) The front of the stage, side C, is 50 feet long. A 40-foot rope runs along the side of square B. A 30-foot rope runs along the side of square A. Is the roped off area, triangle ABC, a right triangle? Explain.


e)The diagonal of square A, marked off by the red stars, is where the concession stand is located. A local high school band is performing at the outdoor theater on a summer evening. The band has a school banner that is 40-feet long, and band members would like to hang it across the concession stand to let people know they are performing. Estimate the length of the concession stand to determine if the school banner can fit across the length of the concession stand. Show your work and explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

The converse of Pythagorean Theorem states:

If the square length of the longes side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then it's a right triangle.

We use the converse of Pythagorean Theorem to prove that a triangle is a right triangle. It's like the inverse use of the theorem. Often, this theorem is used to find the length of a side of a triangle when we already know it's a right triangle. However, when we don't know that is a right triangle, we use the converse to prove it.
