Example 7 Randy made a ramp for his dog to get into his truck. The ramp is 6 ft long and the bed of the truck is 3ft above the ground. Approximately how far from the back of the truck does the ramp touch the ground?
14
Example 8 Donna’s TV screen is 20 inches long. If the diagonal measures 25 inches, what is the width of the tv screen?
15
Example 9 Town A is 9 miles from town B, and 12 miles from town C. A road connects towns B and C directly. Find the length of this road. Angle B is the right angle.
16
Converse of the Pythagorean theorem If the sum of the square of the measures of two sides of a triangle equals the square of the measure of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle. If a 2 + b 2 = c 2, then ∆ABC is a right triangle. a C B A b c
