A right triangle has a leg with a length of 21 units and a hypotenuse with a length of 42 units. Eunice states that because the hypotenuse is twice the length of the given leg, the right triangle is a 30° 60° – 90° triangle. Select the statements that are true. The perimeter of the triangle is 84 units. Eunice is not correct. It is a 45° 45° - 90° triangle. The measure of the remaining leg is 21y3 units. The measure of the remaining leg is also 21 units. O The angle opposite the side with length 21 units measures 30°.

Use Figure 5.19 to prove Theorem 5.4.2. Theorem 5.4.2 The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.
The diagram shown in Figure 1 was used by the Hindu mathematician Bhaskara to prove the theorem in the 12th century. His proof consisted only of the diagram and the word Behold! Use this figure to derive the Pythagorean Theorem. The right triangle with sides a, b, and c has been repeated three times. The area of the large square is equal to the sum of the areas of the four triangles and the area of the small square in the center. The key to this derivation is in finding the length of a side of the small square. Once you have the equation, simplify the right side to obtain the theorem. Figure 1
Show that there is no triangle for which a=4 feet, b=14 feet, and A=60.
