Question

Given the triangle pictured, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. Round your solution to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

A. c = 10
B. c = 8.5 approximately
C. c = 12
D. c = 11.4 approximately

Answer 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 9^2 = c^2
64 + 81 = c^2
145 = c^2
sqrt(145) = c
12.0 = c

Answer 3

so whic one would it be?

Answer 4

c

Answer 5

aha you just want the answer?
w

Answer 6

no, i didnt understand it

Answer 7

pythagorean thereom is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are the two legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, in the thing that you drew; a= 8, b =9, and c = c
or a = 9, b = 8.
so just plug and chug to solve for c.

Answer 8

okay thanks very much:)

Answer 9

yeap no problem
