ILL BRAINLIST. 2) Using Pythagoras’ Theorem, which is the correct statement (A, B or C)
that describes the relationship between the three side lengths in this
triangle? Explain your choice.
A 262 = x2 + 242 B 242 = x2 + 262 C x2 = 242 + 262

The answer is most likely C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras' Theorem, c^2 = a^2 + b^2

I'm not sure if 242 and 262 were 24^2 and 26^2 respectively but I'm using 24^2 and 26^2 for this answer.

The c^2 is in fact x^2 where x is the hypotenuse.

However, the answer could be A if x has to be whole number. In this case, x^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

x^2 = 26^2 - 24^2 = 100

x = sqrt (100) = 10

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
