Question

Can someone check this? Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer 1

Opposite Side: 16 inches
Adjacent Side: 16 feet
Hypotenuse: About 16.5 feet

Can these sides be right?

Answer 2

@OrangeMaster you want to solve this by Pythagoras theorem.... or what....?

Answer 3

Hypotenuse should be 16.1 ft

Answer 4

THESE SIDES ARE NOT SIDES OF RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE

Answer 5

Yes set it up using the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 6

if.... Opposite Side: 16 inches and Adjacent Side: 16 feet... then hypotenuse will be 22.62...

Answer 7

paki, check units of measurements.

That said, I think they are not in the right proportions as we expect.

Answer 8

HYPOTENUS SHOULD BE 22.62

Answer 9

wait... let me check... good point.... d3xter :-)

Answer 10

ok... convert opposite side (16inches) to feet... it will be then 1.333 feet... now according to Pythagoras theorem, the hypotenuse will be 16.06 feet....

Answer 11

more like it, paki ^^

Answer 12

thanks :-)

Answer 13

you welcome! :)
