Question

help with Pythagoras' Theorem

Answer 1

the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 13 and the base is 5 what is the height show your work

Answer 2

\[\huge \rm a^2+b^2=c^2\] Pythagorean theorem
c is the longest side( hypotenuse )
so plugin c and b value solve for a

Answer 3

\[5^{2}+b ^{2}=13^{2}\]

Answer 4

looks good
solve for b

Answer 5

how?

Answer 6

btw base is b
but that's not gonna change the answer

Answer 7

how would you cancel out 5^2 from left side ?
would you add,subtract,multiply or divide by 5^2?

Answer 8

mulitiply so...\[25+b ^{2}=169\]

Answer 9

that's right
25+b^2=169
now move 25 to the right side
so how would you cancel out 25 from left side ?

Answer 10

idk actullay

Answer 11

it's 25 `+`b^2
25 is positive at left side to cancel it out so should subtract 25 both sides

Answer 12

i am confused

Answer 13

\[\huge\rm 25 +b^2=169\]
we have to solve for b
so subtract 25 both sides

Answer 14

25=144

Answer 15

both sides
what would you get when you subtract 25 at left side ?
