what is the length of side x? if necessary round to two decimal places

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

use the pythorgam therom

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

a^2 +b^2 =c^2

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

where A & B are the 2 shortest sides

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

after u find the value of c^2 do u find the square root?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

show me the steps you took

OpenStudy (candy13106):

the answer is 114

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

19^2+12^2=505

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

nice hand writing :p

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

no

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

you are given A & C! not B!

OpenStudy (candy13106):

thank a lotttttttttttttt:)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

so it's 12^2 + x^2= 19^2

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

ohh ok i see

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

I mean, the previously given answer is obviously wrong, because the hypotenuse is the longest side so how could the missing side be 505?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

no its 114

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

it can't be 505

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

then how could it be 114??

OpenStudy (candy13106):

cause u do 12 times 19 then divide by 2

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

no! what is 12^2?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

u are so wrong

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

\[12^2+x^2=19^2\]

OpenStudy (candy13106):

still wrong

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

first solve for 12 squared and 19 squared. solve for x from here.

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

u guys are confusing me

OpenStudy (candy13106):

i am telling u the right answer is 114

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

ima go with noseboy cause he makes more sense

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Imma make a drawing, hold on

OpenStudy (candy13106):

dont please he is wrong

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

\[12^2+ x^2=19^2\]

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

\[144+x^2=361\]

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

\[x^2=217\]

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

x=?

OpenStudy (candy13106):

hes still wrong im older go on ask.com if u dont beliveme

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

THEN PROVE IT

OpenStudy (noseboy908):
