Ok here it is: The information given represents lengths of sides of a right triangle with c the hypotenuse. Find the correct missing length to the nearest hundredth. A calculator may be helpful. a = ?, b = 11, c = 17 A. 12.75 B. 13.20 C. 12.96 D. 13.12

I tried each one into the ? mark and I'm supposed to get 17.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For A I got 16.84

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. 12.96 @TakeA.I.M.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. 17.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C 16.99 And D. 17.12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. 17.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was C because Its closer than the rest to 17 as 16.99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a^2= c^2-b^2= 17^2-11^2=289-121=168\] \[a=\sqrt{168}=12.96\]
