Question

Find the approximate length of the leg of a right triangle with one leg length 8 and hypotenuse length 19.

Answer 1

Ok so we got two parts here

Answer 2

okie.

Answer 3

My bad sorry for the confusion lol i havent had coffee .

Answer 4

Its all good haha

Answer 5

Hypotenuse = c
a2+b2=c282+92=c2=145c=145and then that equals????

Answer 6

.... whut...

Answer 7

First, write down the pythagorean theorem (very famous)
\[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \]

a and b are the "legs"
c is the hypotenuse.

replace the letter a with the length of the leg
replace the letter c with the len of the hypotenuse

can you do that ?

Answer 8

Okay I got it.

Answer 9

Like this basically
a^2+b^2=c^2
8^2+9^2=c^2=145
c=√145=__.__

Answer 10

I dont know who I should give the medal to . You both did very well.

Answer 11

Well i gave phi a medal so win/win but the medal doesn't
really matter

Answer 12

*** Okay I got it.***

what did you get. Can you write it down ?
replace the letter a with the length of the leg
replace the letter c with the len of the hypotenuse

Answer 13

Its about who will help you get the answer correct and get it done as a team

Answer 14

I got it too

Answer 15

I know how to do it now. Thanks guys!

Answer 16

Answer 18

20.61

Answer 19

Ur wrong

Answer 20

How?

Answer 21

its 12.04

Answer 22

Thats even a choice for the multiple choice.

Answer 23

1) write down the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse

2) replace a with 8 and c with 19

Answer 24

Ik what i did wrong i did it for a 9 not 19 im ashamed listen to phi he/she knows what to do

Answer 25

Its 17.2

Answer 26

correct?

Answer 27

to "replace" a with 8 means erase the a and put in 8
replace c with 19

8^2 + b^2 = 19^2

Answer 28

now simplify 8^2 = 8*8
simplify 19^2 = 19*19
what do you get ?
