Question

If the base of the triangle is 13 mi, What is the length of the altitude?

Answer 1

are you solving for the values or its given ? cause everything is given even the altitude

Answer 2

We can use the Pythagorean theorem..

\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

Where 'a' and 'b' are the legs, and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

Plug in what we know:

\(12^2 + 13^2 = c^2\)

Can you simplify that?

Answer 3

well igreen the hyp is given what hyp are you calculating its given to be 12?!

Answer 4

i mean 13*
