Answer 2

I'm sure this is easy, but I'm lazy

Answer 3

Lol, use the Pythagorean Thoerem.

Answer 4

Theorem*

Answer 5

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

Where 'a' and 'b' are the two legs of the right triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

We are given one leg and the hypotenuse.

Plug in the measurements:

\(a^2 + 36^2 + 85^2\)

Solve for 'a'

Answer 6

36^2 = ?
85^2 = ?

Answer 7

1296 & 7225

Answer 8

Can we speed it up a bit? I have a LaTeX practice session to get to.

Answer 9

not to be rude

Answer 10

@iGreen do you have to do this every time?

Answer 11

whatever, i'm going to practice my LaTeX

Answer 12

Okay, so we have:

a + 1296 = 7225

Answer 13

Subtract 1296 to both sides, 7225 - 1296 = ?

Answer 14

Sorry that's a^2*

Answer 15

@CheesecakeKitten Sorry..I was doing something else.

This will be your answer:

\(\sqrt{7225-1296}\)

Answer 17
