5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use the pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 x^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 x^2 + 144 = 169 ... ... ... x = ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes x = 5 is correct 5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

are you familiar with the distance formula?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if not, then you can form right triangles between each point that forms a side

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Example: what is the distance between these two points? |dw:1430527041317:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can form this right triangle |dw:1430527060725:dw|
