Question

Find the missing length

Answer 1

we use the pythagorean theorem

Answer 2

\[A^2 + B^2= C^2\]

Answer 3

a and b are the 2 side lengths and c is the diagonal one that is the hypotenuse

Answer 4

so for this instance we plug in the numbers

Answer 5

\[A^2+9^2=14^2\]

Answer 6

now we don't know A because it is the x value that we are trying to figure out

Answer 7

we know 9 squared its 81, and 14 squared is 196 through the use of a calculator, now we plug those in

Answer 8

\[A^2+81=196\]

Answer 9

now we subtract 81 from both sides to isolate the variable ;) so it becomes

Answer 10

So now its just 196-81=A?

Answer 11

\[A^2=115\]

Answer 12

Ohhhh

Answer 13

no because A has to be squared

Answer 14

so can u find the square root of 115?

Answer 15

10.72

Answer 16
