Question

If g = 77 cm and h = 85 cm, what is the length of f?

Answer 1

Need more context

Answer 2

Are you trying to find the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 3

a leg.

Answer 4

A leg...

Answer 5

The height?

Answer 6

yea the Legnth

Answer 7

The formula to find the length of the hypotenuse is \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]
If you're trying to find one of the other sides (a leg) then instead of plugging in numbers for a and b, you plug in numbers for a OR b, and c. In this case, it would be:
\[a^2 + 77^2 = 85^2\]
The next step is to solve the exponents.
77 squared is 5929
85 squared is 7225
Now the new equation is:
\[a^2 + 5929 = 7225\]
Now, you subtract 5929 from both sides to isolate the variable.
7225 - 5929 = 1296
This gives us:
\[a^2 = 1296\]
The final step is to take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\[\sqrt{a^2} = \sqrt{1296}\]
The final answer is a (in other words "f") = 36

Hope this helped!
