Question

I have a pretty simple algebra 1 question i need answered from you guys it would be awesome if you could help Fan and Medal

Answer 1

What is the side length b in the triangle below?

Answer 2

@MrNood

Answer 3

I have 4 more triangle questions but i think ill put them up in different questions so that whoever helps me can get the right amount of medals

Answer 4

i have to go ill be back in 2 minutes to look at reply

Answer 5

nvm im staying i thought i had to get off

Answer 6

The drawing is corrupted - the text is in the wrong place.

However - I am sure you know the Pythagoras formala for the sides of a right angled triangle

If oyu have 2 sides then the other is VERY simply derived from that formula

Answer 7

The text is in the correct place it looks exactly like the triangle in the work there is a number on the vertical side and a number on the hypotenuse then variable is the horizontal base

Answer 8

i can make it again if you need it

Answer 9

in my view the text is corrupt

is the vertical side 5, and the hypotenuse 13?

Answer 10

Yes!! haha

Answer 11

i tried to put the text as close as possible to the triangle

Answer 12

so what is the Pytagoras formula?

(you know I will not give you the answer - this is a basic triangle question)

Answer 13

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 i think

Answer 14

so - you know a and c

solve for b

Answer 15

13.9 right its one of my answer choices too

Answer 16

that looks like a guess - and may or may not be right

solve the equation

Answer 17

no i did it it was 13^2 + 5^2 = sqrt 192 which is 13.9

Answer 18

dont quote me on the 192 i dont exactly remember the number that was on the calculator

Answer 19

it is not correct

you know a and c

you need to re-arrange the equation to solve for b

Answer 20

How would i rearange it

Answer 21

write the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2

but substitute the values you know

Answer 22

write the equation as b^2 = .....

Answer 23

but then its just the same thing

Answer 24

12, no? pythagoras theorem

Answer 25

my answer choices are 12, 144, 194, and 13.9

Answer 26

@newtoos

Answer 27

please try to do the things I suggest

write the equation as b^2 = .....

Answer 28

if i put it the way mr. nood said it would be the same because i am squaring both numbers then finding the square root

Answer 29

Trust me - I will not suggest something which does not help---

Answer 30

It still came out to 13.9

Answer 31

fml

Answer 32

You haven't done what I asked

the equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

rewrite that so it is

b^2 = ..........

Answer 33

I did so that means c^2 plus a^2 is again 193. The only number that squared is 193 is 13.9

Answer 34

Look - I am TRYING to help

the answer is NOT 13.9 and oyu are NOT doing what iasked

If oyu want th eanswer then ask someone else

Ohterwise CAREFULLY do what I asked

b^2 = ???

Answer 35

B^2 = A^2 + c^2

Answer 36

That is not correct

be careful with the signs

Answer 37

I need to get this question done and i have no idea what you mean when your saying it! What signs i used the only signs that are in the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 38

the signs ARE in the equation, but when you changed the equation you made a mistake with the sign

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(hint: subtract a^2 from both sides of the equation)

(btw - you asked me directly for help - I cannot help if you think the problem is with me)
