Question

In a right of a triangle, find the length of the side not given. b=1, c=sqrt(5)

Answer 1

use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 2

Assuming that sqrt5 is the hypotenuse, the other side is 2 so that:

sqrt( 1^2 + 2^2) = sqrt5
i think

Answer 3

(1)^2 +b^2 = (sqrt5)^2
1 + b^2 = 5
b^2 = 4
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(4)
b = 2

Answer 4

which of the sides are these? the one included in right angle?? or is any1 of them a hypotenuse?

Answer 5

it is standard convention to use a and b as the legs and c as the hypotenuse
