Then it cannot be a 3-4-5 triangle.

This help?

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Apologies. I was incorrect. it can be 5..... or 4.695, or 5.299, or 5.335 or 6. I assumed the columns represented 4 equal rectangles with a width of 2.5 in the square.

The same that you have to assume the angles are 30, 60, and 90 to come up with X=5.

It depends on the angles that you assume (Not provided in OP)

Maybe this will help:
Quote
The term “congruent” means exactly equal shape and size. This shape and size should remain equal, even when we flip, turn, or rotate the shapes.
It didn't help me.

No Sir...

All Right Angle Triangles have two legs and a Hypotenuse.

The “congruent” rectangles make use of two Legs and two Hypoteni (SIC?) to equal 10.

See the diagram above.

The Hypotenus legs are more than 2.5.

The Adjacent Legs are less than 2.5.

The red highlights are a true statement.

The blue highlights were in no way quantified in the OP

You can change the length of 2 sides in a right triangle by changing the degrees in angle's a & b. It will still be a right triangle, the "Hypotenuse" would still be 10.

I don't have a clue on what you are trying to say...

An example showing the Hypotenuse C, when you change the angle's and it changes the length of the sides.

Who cares? In my 60 years on this earth I have never needed any math like this and have functioned just perfectly. Most math is total BS for the average person.

I did…
There are ways to use angles and distance to check your landing pattern and get to a good distance abeam. Specifically, a 30/60 right triangle.

Also useful in determining how much lateral separation you have on a bogey in performing a stern conversion.

30-60-90 triangle

Sides are:

X
2X = 10
and X*sqrt(3)

Of course...

But to alter the angles will defeat the congruent rectangles... OR the square they reside in.

Mac...

Part of the reason I put up these simple math problems is to watch the railing of folks that can't sort them out... and are determined to tell everyone about it.
