Use the pythagorean Theorem to prove the three sides of the triangle are the three sides of a right triangle. Show all of your work. 2,4,2,√3

+ = 4 + 4 * 3 = 16 =

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the two shorter sides of a right triangle squared and added together will equal the longest side (hypotenuse) of the right triangle squared. The longest side of this right triangle is 4, 4 squared is 16. The two shorter sides of the right triangle are 2 and , squared individually would be 4 and 12, and added together they also equal 16. These sides are a valid input for the Pythagorean Theorem, so these three sides are the sides of a right triangle. 2 and being the legs of the right triangle, and 4 being the hypotenuse.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
