Transcribed Image Text:**Classify Each Triangle by Its Angles and Then by Its Sides**
1. **Triangle ABC**
- Visual: An equilateral triangle.
- Classification by Angles: Equilateral
- Classification by Sides: Equilateral
2. **Triangle PQR**
- Visual: An obtuse triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees.
- Classification by Angles: Obtuse
- Classification by Sides: Scalene
3. **Right Triangle**
- Visual: A right triangle with a 90-degree angle.
- Classification by Angles: Right
- Classification by Sides: Scalene
**Determine If the Triangles Below Are Similar by Finding If Their Corresponding Sides Are Proportional**
- Two triangles are shown.
1. **Triangle ABC**
- Side AC = 10
- Side AB = 6
- Side BC = 8
2. **Triangle DEF**
- Side DF = 15
- Side EF = 12
- Side DE is not labeled, inferred to be proportional to other triangle side lengths if similar.
- To determine if triangles ABC and DEF are similar, verify if the ratios of corresponding sides (10/15, 6/12, 8/x) are equal.

Transcribed Image Text:**Unit 7 Topic 4: The Pythagorean Theorem**
---
**1.** Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. Round to nearest tenth if needed.
Diagram:
- A right triangle with sides labeled: one leg \(6\), the other leg \(7\), and the hypotenuse labeled \(x\).
---
**2.** Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. Round to nearest tenth if needed.
Diagram:
- A right triangle with one leg measuring \(24 \text{ in.}\) and the other leg measuring \(7 \text{ in.}\).
---
**3.** Troy is building a ramp for his toy cars. The plank he is using for the ramp is \(10\) feet long and is placed on a \(2\)-ft high box. How far from the box is the bottom edge of the ramp in feet. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.
Diagram:
- A right triangle formed by the ground, the height of the box (\(2 \text{ ft}\)), and the ramp (\(10 \text{ ft}\)). The base of the triangle is labeled \(b\).
