Question

What is the length of side a round to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Answer 1

14.4

Explanation:

We can use the pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, c being the longest length) to solve this answer.

16^2 - 7^2 = a

256 - 49 = 207.

the square root of 207 is 14.3874...

Rounding to the nearest tenth makes the answer 14.4
