pooja195 (pooja195):

whats the little circle for ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We know one of the legs, which is 3

45 degrees - pooja

pooja195 (pooja195):

so the 3 is also a degree?

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

no pooja

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

So nick, 3^2 + 45^2 = c^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 degrees in a triangle. -90 because of the right angle. 90 degrees are left we know one of the angles are 45 degrees, which leaves 45 degrees on the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the 3 is on the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3^2 + 3^2 = C^2

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

Im completely and totally confused

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

Why would it be 3^2 + 3^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the legs are A and B, so C is the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know the legs are both 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I misscalculated a little, The answer would be 3.46410161514

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

So 3.47 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
