Question

In a right triangle, find the length of the side not given.
b=2, c=sqrt13, a=__

Answer 1

which one is the hypotenuse?

Answer 2

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 3

no idea

Answer 4

c is usually hypotenuse

Answer 5

ok :)

Answer 6

ya thats a really bad assumption to make always

Answer 7

if its not given then thats the only way we can solve it. unless there was a picture associated with the question its safe to assume that

Answer 8

\[c ^{2}=a ^{2}+b ^{2}\]hence \[13=a ^{2}+4\] hence a=\[\sqrt{9}\]=3

Answer 9
