You will be using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem. The Pythagorean Theorem is c^2=a^2+b^2 the little leg, 3, is a. The large leg, 4, is b. And c is the hypotnuese which we are trying to find.
OpenStudy (rea201):
do you get that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c^2=23
OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i right

what is the next step
OpenStudy (rea201):
c^2=25 be 3^2=9 and 4^2=16. But now you will find the square root of 25.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh so its 5
OpenStudy (rea201):
Yes you are correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it D

it is c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you help me with a couple more
OpenStudy (rea201):
sure you want to message them to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (rea201):
ok so for this problem we will use the same formula.Can you tell me what b and c are

b=10 and a =8 right
OpenStudy (rea201):
actually 10 is the hypotnuese so c=10 and b=8. We are trying to find the small leg, a. I have drawn a triangle as how you should look at it when doing these type of problems.|dw:1383246094477:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so im stuck i got 100=a^2+64 am i right
OpenStudy (rea201):
yes so now you will subtract 64 off off the left hand side and then find the square root.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 6 C omg ur the best tutor ever i never thought that i could do this

Thanks and you are correct it is c
OpenStudy (rea201):
and ok go right ahead

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i tryed it and this is wht i got 44=a^2 but there is not squar root of 44
