Question

The triangle shown is a right triangle. Create the equation to be used to find the missing lengths. ( Enter the smaller leg of the triangle first) do not solve the equation. The hypotenuse is x, the short side is 4 and the long side is 7. I answered x^2= 4^2+ 7^2

Answer 1

equation for finding x would be by the Pythagorean theorem since its a right triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2
7.1^2+4^2=hypotenuse^2
then find the root of the hypotenuse

Answer 2

Thanks, idk why it is counting it wrong then
