Question

For each right triangle fine the length of the side that is not given. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.(one Decimal place)

Answer 1

12.5 m

Explanation:

You are given the lengths of the legs of a right triangle.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(6 m)^2 + (11 m)^2 = c^2

36 m^2 + 121 m^2 = c^2

c^2 = 157 m^2

c = sqrt(157 m^2)

c = sqrt(157) m

Answer: 12.5 m

Answer 2

√157

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorm.

`11^2 + 6^2 = ?^2`

121 + 36 = ?^2

157 = ?^2

√157 = ?

Can't simplify.
