Answer 5

I have given you several suggestions. So far you ask others for help. Shows that you most likely want someone else to do your work for you and provide you with the answers. That is simply unacceptable on OpenStudy.

Look up the Pythagorean Theorem. Ask yourself how you could apply it to the problem at hand.

Answer 6

Find the length of each of the 2 shorter sides of this triangle. Square both lengths. Add them together. Find the square root of this sum. That's your answer. Show your work, please.

Answer 7

I some what know what the Pythagorean Theorem I don't know how to do it, I have a pre work thing I am working on so Im really not looking for someone to "give" me the answers because on the work im not even getting graded on. I just need someone to show me how to do it and im just asking people I talk to.

Answer 8

Here's what I suggested before:

Find the length of each of the 2 shorter sides of this triangle. Square both lengths. Add them together. Find the square root of this sum. That's your answer. Show your work, please.

Hint: the shortest side has length 2.
find the length of the vertical side.
