Question

find the missing length. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

A 4.8
B 5
C 10.7
D 11

Answer 1

Have you tried \(\Large a^2+b^2=c^2 \)? (Pythagorean theorem)

Answer 2

no i'm not good at math the way my school teaches it is that you learn it and you do the test they don't teach it to us so no i don't understand anything they are teaching

Answer 3

Well Pythagorean theorem is used to find the missing side of a right triangle, like the one you have.

The \(\color{red}{a} \) and \(\color{blue}{b} \) are usually side lengths on the triangle, doesn't really matter which goes to what. \(\color{orange}{c} \) is always the longer leg (hypotenuse).

Answer 4

okay i'll try to see if it helps

Answer 5

You have two out of the three values, \(\color{red}{a=9} \) and \(\color{orange}{c=14} \)

Just plug them in and solve for the missing value:
\(\Large \color{red}{9^2} +\color{green}{b^2}=\color{orange}{14^2} \)

Answer 6

will it be 5

Answer 7

Nope, try again, did you subtract to get \(b^2\) by itself?

Answer 8

what happen to your other account?

Answer 9

what other account this is the same account and i still don't get any of this

Answer 10

this easy

Answer 11

Just plug in the answer choices and see

Answer 12

answer choices for B^2

Answer 13

and see of you get C^2

Answer 14

you have to understand the school I went to never thought us this and the way your all explain it is to hard for me to understand i have dyslexia i don't learn the same way you all do

Answer 15

Thats that hurt
