Help me with a trigonometry question?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: \(\Large a^2+b^2=c^2\), where c = the length of the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

10.04?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

a = 10 b = x c = sqrt{170} \(\Large 10^2+x^2=(\sqrt{170}^2)\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Solve for x

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

x=70

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

almost. It would be the square root of 70

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

That will be the final answer, my instructor wants me to leave it in the simplest form :)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes. \(\large\sqrt{70}\) is the simplfiest form

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

|dw:1454983315102:dw|

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

The missing side of this would be... sqrt 19? :) @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(\Large 9^2+x^2=13^2\)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

5sqrt10?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no \(\Large\rightarrow x^2=169-81\rightarrow x^2=88\rightarrow x=\sqrt{88}=?\)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

2sqrt22

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes
