Answer 6

Watch these. and sleep in school class. :D

Answer 7

i would love to watch them but i have a dead line on this question and its by tomorrow mornign and i dont understand the questin

Answer 8

btw,

Pythagoras Theorm =

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where "c" is the Hypotenuse. or in other words, the longest side of the triangle.

Answer 9

do you recall the pythag thrm?

Answer 10

lol, saif recalls it :)

Answer 11

Now insert the values,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
100^2 + b^2 = 125^2

DYS

Answer 12

wow im confused

Answer 13

Where?

Answer 14

the missing like part im confused plugging in the numbers

Answer 15

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

this is the formula.

you have to learn it.

Now "a" and "b" are the values of normal sides.

whereas "c" is the longest side.

Answer 16

in words:

If you square one side (short side) of a right angle triangle and add it to the square of another side (another short side) , it equals the HYPOTENUSE (THE LONGEST SIDE)

Answer 17

srry, i mean the hypotenuse squared

Answer 18

ok so in this case a would be 100 and b would be 125 right?

Answer 19

so i will do 100^2 which is 10,000 and 125 ^ 2 which is 15, 625

Answer 20

what do i do after that thats where i get stuck

Answer 21

and take the square root of 15625

Answer 22

WAIT
noo stop for a second. 125 is your hypotenuse?

Answer 23

which is 125

Answer 24

so how do i connect 15625 and 10000 to the missing side

Answer 25

In this case, you will do (125)^2 - (100)^2 = b^2

Answer 26

which will get 15625 - 10000 = b^2

Answer 27

5625 is 15625 - 10000 =

Answer 28

do i take the square root of 5625

Answer 29

and then take the square root of both sides.
