\[\Large\rm \color{royalblue}{a=5},\qquad\qquad \color{orangered}{b=12}\]
\[\Large\rm \color{royalblue}{a}^2+\color{orangered}{b}^2=c^2\]\[\Large\rm \color{royalblue}{5}^2+\color{orangered}{12}^2=c^2\]Solve for c! :)
Square the stuff, add it up, then square root each side.
OpenStudy (baby456):
I am so confused!
OpenStudy (baby456):
i got 25+144=169^2
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
no no it should be 25+144=13^2
OpenStudy (baby456):
i forgot to square it

@sweetburger is that Nicholas Cage on that bunny? 0_o
OpenStudy (baby456):
yeah! sorry i couldn't shape it!
zepdrix (zepdrix):
|dw:1403133478198:dw|The longest side of the triangle is always our C.
So that means the 14 is our c value.
zepdrix (zepdrix):
\[\Large\rm \color{orangered}{b=11},\qquad\qquad \color{green}{c=14}\]
\[\Large\rm a^2+\color{orangered}{b}^2=\color{green}{c}^2\]\[\Large\rm a^2+\color{orangered}{11}^2=\color{green}{14}^2\]This one requires just a little bit more work to solve.
OpenStudy (baby456):
so i got a^2+121=196

Mmmmmk good!
So how do we get a^2 alone?
Gotta deal with that 121.
OpenStudy (baby456):
subtract!
zepdrix (zepdrix):
cool c:
OpenStudy (baby456):
a^2=75
zepdrix (zepdrix):
\[\Large\rm a^2=75\]\[\Large\rm a=?\]k good, what's your last step then? :o

Not squared. Square root.

so could you help me with one more problem!
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Yes 8.66.
But if they want an exact answer, you would leave it as \(\Large\rm \sqrt{75}\) or simplify it to \(\Large\rm 5\sqrt3\)
zepdrix (zepdrix):
sure
OpenStudy (baby456):
ok find the area and perimeter for the figure below!

|dw:1403134244479:dw|Let's label all of the sides.
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Perimeter is the distance around the object.
So we just add up all of the side lengths.
