Question

MEDAL GIVEN! I THINK ITS 60!
What is the length of the unknown side of the right triangle?

13
17
25
60

Answer 1

use \(a^2+b^2=c^2\) and find \(c\)

Answer 2

17?

Answer 3

it would be 13.

Answer 4

Close....

Answer 5

@pounce0129 @misty1212 thank you! But how was i wrong?

Answer 6

\[5^2+12^2=c^2\]

Answer 7

13^2 is 169.

Answer 8

What is \(12^2\) and \(5^2\)?

Answer 9

\[5^2+12^2=25+144=169\] and \(\sqrt{169}=13\)

Answer 10

I thought i showed you how to do this about 3 times.

Answer 11

@DanJS but i still don't understand it....

Answer 12

ok ok beg my pard

Answer 13

what do you not understand?

Answer 14

@ms.hi If you don't understand the material being explained, then ask questions.

Answer 15

@pounce0129 hypotenuse.

Answer 16

\[c^2\] is the hypotenuse

Answer 17

so you would say to the c power?

Answer 18

in the equation: \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] a and b are the two sides adjacent to the right angle. c is the hypotenuse or slanted side.

Answer 19

do you get it now? @ms.hi

Answer 20

@pounce0129 somewhat.
