Medal & Fan ! (: What is the length of the missing side of the triangle? The figure is not drawn to scale A. 8 B. 6 C. 24 D. 12

OpenStudy (lucaz):

use pythegorean theorem a^2 = b^2 + c^2 15^2 = x^2 + 9^2 x^2 = 144 x = sqrt(144) = 12

OpenStudy (lucaz):

a is the hypthenuse and b and c the sides

OpenStudy (lucaz):

sides = base and height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this one i done understand it at all . What is the length of the missing side of the triangle in simplest radical form a. 2 sqrt 34 cm b. sqrt 72 c. 8 cm d. 136 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lucaz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yo can i help?

OpenStudy (lucaz):

go on @zendaya-replay-guy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oka

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry dont know

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

So as @lucaz showed above it would be another use of the pythagorean theorem... a^2 + b^2 = c^2 'a' and 'b' are the 2 sides we see....6 and 10...so 6^2 + 10^2 = c^2 36 + 100 = 136 c^2 = 136 c = √136

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Now we know that isn't one of the answers up there...but

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

what we do know... \[\large \sqrt{136} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{34}\] And we know that the square root of 4 is 2...so I see... \[\large 2\sqrt{34}\]
