Question

Find the missing length of the triangle. 12 in 85 in.​

Answer 1

side c = 37 in.

Explanation:

side c is the hypotenuse as it is opposite of right angle (90 degree ).

12 and 35 are the two other smaller sides of the given right angles triangle.

using pythagoras theorem to find side c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 35^2 = c^2

144 + 1225 = c^2

1369 = c^2

`√(1369)` = c

37 = c

Answer 2

From Pythagoras Theorem

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides

C² = 12² + 35²

C= √12²+35²

C= 37in
