State and prove the converse of the pythagorean theorem using a two-column proof

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm from the UK and I'm not familiar with a two column proof, but the following proves the converse.

Draw 2 right angled triangles with the 2 legs = a and b in each case and the longest side = c in one triangle and f in the other.

By Pythagoras a^2 + b^2 = c^2   (Given)

Also in the other triangle a^2 + b^2 = f^2,  if it is right-angled.

Therefore a^2 = f^2 and a = f.

So the 2 triangles are congruent by SSS.

So m < C  in one triangle = m < F  ( the angles opposite the hypotenuse)

Therefore the second triangle is right angled .

This completes the proof.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
