Given the following triangle, solve for the missing side
it's a right angle triangle, so wat are the first two things that pop into ur head when u see a right angle triangle?
ummmm :/ i know nothing of this i forgot it all
pythagromus theorem, \[c ^{2}=b ^{2}+a ^{2}\] and Trigonometry SohCahToa. Do you remember these formulas? and i advice that u never forget these, they r extremly important!
wat kind of mat are u doing
algerbra 2 :/
u know those two formulas? @gnungaray616
3.56 ? is the answer yeah i seen that formula before
no
:/ hm,mmmm
so back to my two formulas :P
yeahhh lol show me how to do it pleaseee :)
ok so when dealing with right angle triangles u normally use either of the formulas. when given an angle or u need to solve an angle then u would use trigonometry.
but since u r given only sides and u dont need to solve for any angle then we will use pythagromus theorem
so given that c is the hypothenus and a or b r any of the other sides, i want u to plug in the values given and let me see if u did it right :)
4.6^2 +3.5^2 =c^2 ?
4.6 is c so it would be a^2 +3.5^2 =4.6^2
so now solve for a :)
1.24?
no
a^2 +3.5^2 =4.6^2 a^2 = 4.6^2- 3.5^2
u got that?
8.91 when i input that in my calculator
very close! but u forgot that a^2 = 8.91 but not a ;) so now wat do u do to get a?
divide ?
i keep getting 54.57
can you solve it but show me step by step how you do it
yea
which missing side do u want me to solve?
