Question

What is the length of jh

Answer 1

8.66 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Use the Pythagoras Theorem

10^2 = 5^2 + JH^2

JH^2 = 100 - 25 = 75

JH = √75

= 8.66 (answer).

Answer 2

Try using the Pythagorean theorem, but here's how to do it.

Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

a is always bottom, b is the height, and c is the hypotenuse

5^2+b^2=10^2

25+b^2=100

b^2=75

b=8.66 or b=8.7
