Question

help use pythagorean theorem to find the value of x

Answer 1

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is always the hypotenuse [longest side]

so we have:
\[4^2+h^2=5^2\]


solve for h

Answer 2

Does h = 1

Answer 3

Sorry does it equal 18

Answer 4

sorry it equals 16

Answer 5

25 - 16 = h^2
sqrt 9 = h

Answer 6

\[4^2 + h^2 = 5^2\]\[16 + h^2 = 25\]\[h^2 = 25-16\]\[h = \sqrt{9} = 3\]

Answer 7

sorry thank you

Answer 8

this is a famous 3-4-5 triangle, you will see this a lot

Answer 9

Ok
