Do the same thing..use the Pythagorean Theorem. \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) \(8^2 + 14^2 = c^2\) \(64 + 196 = c^2\) \(260 = c^2\) \(c = \sqrt{260}\) Can you square 260? @blackops2luvr

OpenStudy (igreen):

Nvm, that's wrong..

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

lol ok if it as right it would have been 16.1245154966

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

well, 16

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

i need to reload brb \(\normalsize\sf\color{gold}{lol}\)

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

.

OpenStudy (igreen):

I think it's: \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) \(8^2 + b^2 = 14^2\) \(64 + b^2 = 196\) Subtract 64 to both sides: \(b^2 = 132\) \(b = \sqrt{132}\) Can you square that?

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

sure. hold on

11.4891252931 Answer is D. 11.5

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

correct?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep!

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

yay :D

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

The legs of a right triangle are 18 centimeters and 80 centimeters long. What is the length of the hypotenuse? 82 centimeters 85 centimeters 89 centimeters 98 centimeters @iGreen , im just making sure im correct, i chose D.

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) \(18^2 + 80^2 = c^2\) \(324 + 6400 = c^2\) \(6724 = c^2\) \(c = \sqrt{6724}\) Can you square that?

OpenStudy (igreen):

a and b can be either legs..it doesn't matter which way you put them. |dw:1415200730678:dw|

OpenStudy (blackops2luvr):

sqrt 6724 is 82
