Question

ash2326 · Answer

hi, do you know Pythagoras theorem?

ash2326 · Answer

we are given that hypotenuse is 12 in length and one side is 11 , we need to find the third side . let it's length be x |dw:1328028599813:dw|

Countrychick do you know Pythagoras theorem? if you tell me I'd be able to help you better

anonymous · Answer

I don't know what that is.

amistre64 · Answer

its of the form:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are legs of a triangle, and c is the hypotenuse

ash2326 · Answer

It states that hypotenuse's square is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
here
$$12^2=11^2+x^2$$
$$144=121+x^2$$
$$x^2=23$$
so the third side is $$\sqrt{23}$$
