Question

Advanced Algebra, triangle

Answer 1

Use the formulas a = x^2 – y^2, b = 2xy, c = x^2 + y^2 to answer this question.

One leg of a right triangle has length 11 and all sides are whole numbers. Find the lengths of the other two sides.
The other leg=
And the hypotenuse=

Answer 2

Well since this is a right angle triangle, we can already use the properties of Pythagoras' theorem. But before, we start on doing anything, we have to let one side equal to 11.
I recommend not the hypotenuse to be 11

Answer 3

it has been a long time since i have even seen Pythagoras' theorem

Answer 4

Can you still remember at all? You can quickly search it up via the net ^^

Answer 5

give me a second to go look it up,(i c\just came back from the bathroom)

Answer 6

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 7

Right

Answer 8

So how do you think, you should approach this question?

Answer 9

11^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 10

yeap
Just solve for that, and make on of the pro numerals the subject

Answer 11

Just remember, that we are working in 'x' and 'y' so you have to mold your equations around those variables

Answer 12

hmmm
it is 9:27AM over here and my mind is still waking up :/

Answer 13

no worries it is 11:29 pm over here

Answer 14

is there a formula u can give me or an example?

Answer 15
