Question

If c is the measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, find each missing measure. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
a = 60, b = ?, c = 100
Select one:
a. 160
b. 40
c. 116.62
d. 80.00

Answer 1

a^2+b^2 = c^2

Answer 2

\[60^2+b^2 = 100^2\]
can you solve for b?

Answer 3

b=80,-80 is this right?

Answer 4

correct

Answer 5

but triangles don't have negative side length so take 80

Answer 6

ok, thank you.
