Find the other side length
What are the measurements? you need to provide all the information.
Im typing it
|dw:1481849522275:dw|
This is a right triangle correct?
yes
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You are given one side and the hypotenuse. Find the other side
I know this therom, but i dont have side b. how do i find this side?
\[58^2 + b^2 = 116^2\] \[3,364 + b^2 = 13, 456\] \[b^2 = 10,092\] \[b = ?\]
Oh, you have to minus 13,456 and 3,364, which equals 10,092! 10,092 square rooted equals 100.45! IS this correct?
Yep
Ok, thx.
Yep
I agree with royalranger: \[58^2 + b^2 = 116^2\] I suggest you go through the entire process of finding the value of "b" and then share your work. Note that while b^2 will be positive, and that b^2 = 116^2 - 58^2, one of the two square roots of this equation must be discardded because it's negative.
Thx mathmale
