Answer 4

Area of Triangle

Answer 5

sorry I meant right triangle

Answer 6

\(\Large\tt Use~the~Pythagorean~Theorem\)
\(\large a^2+b^2=c^2\)

Answer 7

a is 1?

Answer 8

b= 2, and c=6...soo....
\(\large a^2+(2)^2=(6)^2\rightarrow a^2+4=36...\)

Answer 9

so..what does "a" equal?

Answer 10

16?

Answer 11

Answer 12

um...no
\(\large a^2=32\rightarrow a=\sqrt{32}\rightarrow a=\sqrt{16\times2}\rightarrow 4\sqrt{2}\)

Answer 13

i meant 16^2
