Question

The triangle shown is a right triangle. Create the equation to be used to find the missing lengths. (Enter the smaller leg of the triangle first.) Do not solve the equation.

Answer 1

can you help me with these?

Answer 2

Okay this all has to do with Pythagorean Theorem. :)

Answer 3

Do you remember the formula for it?

Answer 4

@jvnation ?

Answer 5

This would be the pythagorean theorem, which is "the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides".

AKA: A^2+B^2=C^2

In your case, "x" is the hypotenuse, or "C" in the equation I just wrote.

Answer 6

Oops..."x" is only the hypotenuse in the first 2. The last one has the hypotenuse given as "9".
