What is the length of the missing side of the right triangle shown below?
|dw:1345400775675:dw|
use the Pythagorus Theorem for this. se here: http://www.mathsisfun.com/pythagoras.html
i don't believe i'm doing this correctly
please show your steps and I'll try to see where you may have made a mistake
a2 + b2 = c2 4^2+ 5^2=c^2 16+25=41 41=C^2
that is correct so far :)
yaaay!! :) the next part is what i'm having a problem with do i have to square root it
exactly - you should have more faith in your abilities! :)
so to be sure. the answer is the square root of 41? because that is one of the options along with 9, 41 , 2(square root)5
yes - answer is \(\sqrt{41}\)
thank you so much for your help I GREATLY appreciate it. :)
