1. The cost to make this part of the compass will be $259.65.

   What is the Pythagorean theorem?

   • The Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras’ theorem, is a fundamental relationship in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.
   • It states that the area of the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
   • Formula: c = √a² + b².

   To find  how much will it cost to make this part of the compass:

   By Pythagorean theorem we calculate the height:

   • √5² – 1²

   Height of triangle = √24

   • Area of triangle = base × height.
   • Area = 2 × √24

   There are two triangles so:

   • 2 × 2 × √24 = 4√24

   Multiply this by 13.25 to get the total cost:

   • = $259.65

   Therefore, the cost to make this part of the compass will be $259.65.

   The correct question is given below:
   The spinner of the compass is two congruent isosceles triangles connected by their bases as shown in the diagram. The base of each of these triangles is 2 centimeters and the legs are 5 centimeters.

   If the metal used to construct the spinner costs $13.25 per square centimeter, how much will it cost to make this part of the compass? Round to the nearest cent.
