The hypotenuse (side C) of a triangle is 13 inches long. Which of the following pairs of measurements could be the correct for the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle? (Note: A2 + B2= C2)
5 inches, 12 inches
2.5 inches, 6 inches
2.5 inches, 4 inches
5 inches, 8 inches
Correct Answer : A
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:
From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Mathematically,
But C=13 inches
If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches
6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches
From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.
4.4 becomes 44/10
4.25 becomes 425/100
Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,
9/2*300=1350
10/3*300=1000
44/10*300=1320
425/10*300=1275
From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.

Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.
Area of the square =side*side
Side=3.1 m
Area of the square =3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2
Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.

Explanation
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.
