Did Bryn come to the correct conclusion? If not explain
her error.
Bryn checked the measures of the stairs to make sure
they formed a right triangle. The measures of the steps
were 5 in., 13 in., and 12 in.
Bryn's work is shown below:
1. 5 + 13° = 12
2. 25 + 169 = 144
3. 194 + 144
Conclusion: Not a right triangle
No. In step 1 she did not apply the Pythagorean
theorem correctly
No. In step 2 she did not square each term
correctly
No. She should have used the outcome from step
3 to conclude that the triangle is a right triangle.
O Yes, Bryn came to the correct conclusion.

Answer:

No. In step 1 she did not apply the Pythagorean

No. In step 1 she did not apply the Pythagorean theorem correctly .

What is Pythagorean Theorem ?

In a right angle triangle,

If Base = a, Perpendicular = b, Hypotenuse = c

Then, [tex](Hypotenuse)^{2}[/tex] =  [tex](Base)^{2}[/tex]+ [tex](Perpendicular)^{2}[/tex]

      i.e. [tex]c^{2}[/tex] = [tex]a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex]

What is the correct way in which Bryn could solve ?

The measures of the steps were 5 in., 13 in. and 12 in.

Bryn's work will be shown like below:

1. [tex]5^{2} + 12^{2} = 13^{2}[/tex]

2. 25 + 144 = 169

3. 169 = 169

Conclusion : A right triangle.

So, Bryn come to the wrong conclusion that it is not a right triangle.

Because, Bryn did not apply the Pythagorean theorem correctly in the step 1 .
