Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse that measures 73 mm and one side that measure 48 mm. What is the length of the remaining side of the triangle?

Answer 1

@iGreen A.55 mm B.60 mm C.65 mm D.75 mm

Answer 2

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\] plug the numbers

Answer 3

you know that the hypotenuse is c^2 so it will be 73^2

Answer 4

\[a^2+b^2=73^2\]

Answer 5

plug the other number in

Answer 6

b=48^2?

Answer 7

looks right so you have
\[a^2+48^2=73^2\] now solve this do you know how?

Answer 8

73^2 = a^2 + 48^2

Answer 9

a^2=73^2-48^2

Answer 10

a=sqrt(73^2-48^2)

Answer 11

a=?
