What is the length of the missing side of the right triangle shown below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\] Here c is the hypotenuse..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are given with a = 11 c = 12 and now your task is to find b..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry are you asking for 2nd question ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same solution for problem 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i should say same formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For that you have to find c.. a = 3 and b = 5..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 \implies c^2 = 34\] take the square root both the sides to find c..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, i'm confused..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm asking for both questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then do reply don't wait for anything..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In first question where are you having problem ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe 2nd question, the answer is B, but I'm not sure. and the first question, I have no idea what to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are right for second one..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And may I ask why you are not sure that answer is B ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk, I just suck at math. Thought I didn't calculate it right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I always doubt my answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. where are you having problem in first one ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to use the same formula but you are given a = 11 and c = 12 You have to find b there...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just dont know how to figure it out, idk what steps to take

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont make it hard nana just follow the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the formula here @nanaheads

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show you work please..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added 11 and 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait @nickhouraney

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.. Why are you simply adding them???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i thought thats what i had to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):
