Question

$$5\sqrt{3}$$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

a^2 + b^2 = c^2


5^2 + b^2 = 10^2


25 +b^2 = 100


b^2 = 100-25


b^2 = 75


b = sqrt(75)


b = sqrt(25*3)


b = sqrt(25)*sqrt(3)


b = 5*sqrt(3)

First off. Which value is the length of the hypotenuse?

@Grazes it would be most appreciated if you would not only post answers only :) the asker would appreciate it if you would give her a solution yes? Furthermore, it is against the site's Code of Conduct to do so. ( http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct). Don't worry you're not yet in trouble ^_^ I am just telling you to avoid future mistakes, okay? Thank you :)

I never read the code of conduct... They're usually really long.
