1.   Find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle.
   
    A. 10 ft B. 12 ft
    C. 9.5 ft D. 14 ft
    Hint

  2.   The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 38 meters long, and one of its legs is 15 meters long. Find the length of the other leg.
    A. about 46.4 m B. about 52.9 m
    C. about 40.9 m D. about 34.9 m
    Hint

  3.   Does the number triple 5, 6, and 8 represent the lengths of sides of a right triangle? Explain.
    A. No, because 52 + 62 82.
    B. Yes, because 5 + 6 > 8.
    C. No, because 8 + 6 < 5.
    D. Yes, because 52 + 62 = 82.
    Hint

  4.   The triangle shown is a right triangle. Solve for b.
   
    A. b = 3.7 units B. b = 14 units
    C. b = 28 units D. b = 15.2 units
    Hint

  5.   In a right triangle, b = 7.1 units and c = 11.3 units. Find a. Round to the nearest tenth.
    A. a = 4.2 units B. a = 13.3 units
    C. a = 8.4 units D. a = 8.8 units
