Question

fan and medal! A right triangle has a hypotenuse that measures 97 mm and one side that measure 72 mm. What is the length of the remaining side of the triangle?

Answer 1

A.65 mm B.55 mm C.60 mm D.87 mm

Answer 2

just need to know how to set it up correctly @iGreen @kidrah69

Answer 3

Use the Pythgorean theorem

Answer 4

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

Where 'a' and 'b' are the two sides and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

\(a^2 + 72^2 = 97^2\)

Solve for 'a'

Answer 5

__^2+5184=9409

9409-5184= 4225


So A=65^2 answer choice A

Answer 6

correct
