the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15 ft.the length if 9 ft

Question

anonymous · Answer

In a right angled triangle, we can use pythagoras thoerem..

anonymous · Answer

$$(Hypotenuse)^2 = (perpendicular)^2 + (base)^2$$

anonymous · Answer

Hypotenuse is given as 15 ft and you can take other length ie 9 ft as perpendicular or base, it is on you..

igreen · Answer

(Perpendicular and Base are pretty much the same thing) :P

anonymous · Answer

$$15^2 = 9^2 + (base)^2$$

igreen · Answer

As in, it doesn't matter which order you put them.

anonymous · Answer

I have taken 9 ft as perpendicular there, you can take base as well..

anonymous · Answer

im not good at math I even have my mom helping me and we still cant get it ;-;

igreen · Answer

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Plug in what we know:

$a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2$

Just simplify 9^2 and 15^2.

anonymous · Answer

Also, we are not.. We are just trying to help you..

igreen · Answer

Can you simplify $9^2$ and $15^2$? @kaikoa

perl · Answer

we can also call them 'legs' , and hypotenuse

igreen · Answer

$9^2 \rightarrow 9 \times 9$
$15^2 \rightarrow 15 \times 15$

anonymous · Answer

I would use first side and other side.. :P

anonymous · Answer

goodmorning  and I cant help you my math is terrible aloha

anonymous · Answer

you are helping yourself I think.. :P

igreen · Answer

So bad that you can't multiply $9 \times 9$?

igreen · Answer

If you can't multiply $9 \times 9$, you're really hopeless.
