Fan And medal just for checking my work!! Find the measure of the unknown side length of the right triangle. A.27 cm B.29 cm C.31 cm D.33 cm

OpenStudy (lexi724):

OpenStudy (lexi724):

so b=56^2 and c=65^2

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, find a^2

OpenStudy (igreen):

a^2 + 56^2 = 65^2

OpenStudy (lexi724):

____^2=3136=4225 so A= 65^2 but that cant be right

OpenStudy (lexi724):

wait i see my mistake one moment

OpenStudy (igreen):

Subtract 3136 to both sides.

OpenStudy (lexi724):

4225-3136=1089 So A= 33^2 answer choice D

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Square root of 1089 = 33

OpenStudy (lexi724):
