1. In the given right triangle, find the missing length 28 m 26 m 25 m 27 m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use pythagoras theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I use that? I just started a new math class and I need to fill out a 'pre-review' sheet of what they are doing...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm. Okayy. I will figure that one out.

Two flag poles in front of the courthouse are 12 ft tall. The distance from the top of one pole to the base of the other as shown in the diagram is 20 ft. What is the distance between the two flag poles? 16 ft 23 ft 18 ft 15 ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the one befor: \[10^{2}+24^{2}=c ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c=26

You have hypotenuse and one side. To find the other, x^2 = 20^2 - 12^2 x = √256 = 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I remember doing something like that before...

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

To prove that it is right triangle, Find the square of the length of the longest side, yielding a value say x Then find the square of the sum of the other two sides, yielding a value say y. If x = y, then it is right triangle

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

I mean sum of the square of the other two sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay great!
