Here's the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the pythagoras theorem. You already have the the hypotenuse and a leg.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

24^2 - 12^2 = x^2 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, 24^2 - 12^2 = x^2 576 - 144 = x^2 432 = x^2 Square both sides x = 20.78

OpenStudy (triciaal):

** @brunomcv not square take the square root

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes x = 20.78 to the nearest tenth means to 1 decimal place so round up to 20.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are right, I tried to abbreviate but without success.... And yes, nearest tenth is just 1 decimal. I'm getting old... @triciaal

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@brunomcv I guess you are trying to catch up with me then
