JME function reference

This variable is an interactive HTML node. Interactive HTML nodes can not be relied upon to work correctly when resuming a session - for example, attached event callbacks will be lost, and mathematical notation will likely also break.

If this causes problems, try to create HTML nodes where you use them in content areas, instead of storing them in variables.

Description

Draw the right angled triangle

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the exact value of $c$ . You might need to use square roots in your answer. To type $\sqrt{2}$ , enter sqrt(2).

$c =$ Unnamed gap

Advice

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

$\begin{align}\var{abs(bc)}^2+c^2&=\var{hypotenuse}^2\\c^2&=\var{hypotenuse}^2-\var{abs(bc)}^2\\&=\var{hypotenuse^2-bc^2}\\c&=\sqrt{\var{hypotenuse^2-bc^2}}\end{align}$

$\therefore \var{simplify(expression("c=\sqrt("+hypotenuse+"*"+hypotenuse+"-"+bc+"*"+bc+ ")"),"all")}$
