jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

write pythagora's for hypotenuse KM and see what will get - ok. ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

the pythagorean theorem ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes exactly

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

do i put in all the numbers?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so in this way using pythagoras you can easy provimg that this triangle is or not is right

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay so i put 8^2+b^2=13^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

KM is hypotenuse of triangle so what say píthagoras in this case ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

the hypotenuse is 13^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not for this right triangle the question is for greater triangle so the hypotenuse is KM

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

so you add 13+8

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

im honestly so confused

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no there are triangle JKM with given sides length 13 and 8 so than this is a right triangle using pythagora s we can writing that the length of hypotenuse squared equal with the sum of length squared of the other two sides - yes ?

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

so is the answer 18.2?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how you get it please write your calculi here

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

169 +64 = 233 KM = sqrt233 = 15,26

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yeah thats what i did. but i didnt square root it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

15,26 mean 15,3 rounded

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

yeah see I didn't do that

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but this is the right way to solve it

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

okay now i get it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you understood it now was my pleasure good luck

OpenStudy (samirahdanyel):

thank you
