Answer 1

It's a right triangle, so you can use the pythagorean theorem.

Answer 2

ohh ok ....so...then what?

Answer 3

The equation is\[leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\]

Answer 4

or\[14^2+x^2=20^2\]

Answer 5

sooo....the answer is 34?

Answer 6

No...how do you figure that?

Answer 7

i added them

Answer 8

XD

Answer 9

\[x^2=20^2+14^2\]
\[x^2=400-196\]
\[x=\sqrt(204)\]

Answer 10

204?

Answer 11

i thought we were supose to add it?

Answer 12

not quite, you need to use algebra to solve this one, you subtract 14^2 from both sides to get the variable on its own, then take the square root of the whole equation to get the final answer which is x=14.3

Answer 13

OHH OK THANKS

Answer 14

You're welcome!

Answer 15

nice work
