Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze and solve the problems in the image.
Problem 28:
It looks like you were asked to find the missing side in a right triangle, likely using the Pythagorean theorem.
-
First triangle:
- Given sides: 8 and 9.
- The formula used is: .
- So, becomes:
- Taking the square root on both sides:
So, the missing side is .
-
Second triangle:
- Given sides: 14 and 9.
- Using the Pythagorean theorem:
- Taking the square root on both sides:
So, the missing side is .
Problem 30:
This problem asks you to complete a conditional statement related to a quadrilateral being a square.
-
Given Conditional: "If a figure is a quadrilateral, then it is a square."
-
True or False: You answered false, and this is correct because not all quadrilaterals are squares.
-
Counterexample: Any quadrilateral that is not a square can be used as a counterexample. For instance, a rectangle, rhombus, or trapezoid.
-
Converse: "If a figure is a square, then it is a quadrilateral." This is true because every square is indeed a quadrilateral.

Here are 5 related questions:
- How do you determine if a triangle is a right triangle using side lengths?
- What other methods, besides the Pythagorean theorem, can be used to find missing sides in triangles?
- What are the properties of different types of quadrilaterals?
- How can you identify the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of a conditional statement?
- What are some common mistakes to avoid when using the Pythagorean theorem?
Tip: When solving problems involving the Pythagorean theorem, always double-check the squares of the side lengths and ensure you're solving for the correct side (either a leg or the hypotenuse).
