6. Write down the Pythagorean Theorem, mathematically: _____________________________________________________________
7. A 3, 4, 5 triangle is a Right Triangle. If it’s multiplied by a Scale Factor of 2, will its Dilation still be a Right Triangle? a)Yes b)No
8. A 6, 8, 10 triangle is a Right Triangle. If it’s scaled down by a Factor of ½, will its Dilation still be a Right Triangle? a)Yes b)No

25. Your alien buddy “Spheros” is from a planet where everything is spherical; he has never seen or heard of “Triangles”. One day he
excitedly brings you a plastic triangle with the label ‘Right Triangle’ written on it. You tell him not to show it to you; instead, you will
impress him with your “magic” and incredible wisdom. So you close your eyes and predict that this bizarre ‘Right Triangle’:
a)Has two shorter sides or “Legs” that form a 90o angle b)Has a long side, called the “Hypotenuse,” that’s longer than each Leg, but
shorter than the sum of those two legs c)Has three sides that obey the formula a2 + b2 = c2 (where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are the shorter legs
