Mathematics Knowledge Question
My book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Mathematics Knowledge Study Guide, reviews a variety of topics in algebra and geometry. One of the topics I review is triangles. I review the different types of triangles based on their sides, the different types of triangles based on their angles, Pythagorean theorem, common right triangles, etc.
Today I present a question on Mathematics Knowledge. The question is a geometry question that focuses on right triangles.
The question is:
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 2 sides of 30 and 40?
A. 50
B. 60
C. 70
D. 80
The answer can be solved with the Pythagorean theorem or with knowledge of common right triangles. Do you know how to solve this problem? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
