Answer 3

use Pythagorean theorem

Answer 4

i did and got 10.58

Answer 5

im not sure what i've done wrong... i know im looking for the second leg so i didnt use 16 as b....

Answer 6

yeah right because 16 is hypotheses so it stand for c in the equation

Answer 7

here is my work.... 12^2+b^2=16^2. 144+b^2=256 b^2=112 square root of 112=10.58.. but that's not an answer choice

Answer 10

@thelovelyemilyjane Remember Any side of a triangle must be less
than the other two sides added together
12+16 = 28
first answer: 28 is equal to 28, so it's not an option, MUST be less than
looks like 19.5 is the only option.
