Question

Find the length of the missing leg of a right triangle given a leg of length 8 and a hypotenuse of length 10. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
(1 point)

Answer 1

let the length of the missing side is x, then use the pythagorean theorem :
x^2 = 10^2 - 8^2
solve for x

Answer 2

would it be d?

Answer 3

just guess ?

Answer 4

no. i am failing geometry!

Answer 5

well, to get x we have to simply the equation above :
x^2 = 10^2 - 8^2
x^2 = 100 - 64
x^2 = 36
x = sqrt (36) = ............... ?

Answer 6

so 6.

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

k help me with one more?

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

Find the length of the missing side. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
The triangle is not to scale.
25
144
5

Answer 11

diagram ?

Answer 12

d is square root of 5.

Answer 13

yes. and d is square root of 5.

Answer 14

let the length of hypotenusa is x, and use the pythagorean theorema again :
x^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
x^2 = 9 + 16
x^2 = 25
x = sqrt(25) = .......................................................... ?

Answer 15

so 5 just 5 no square root of 5? just simply 5?

Answer 16

5 is the answer

Answer 17

sqrt(25) = 5
