5 Pythagorean theorem problems and solutions with two of those questions having an unknown hypotenous.?

Question

Can some one help me???

Answer 1

The legs of a triangle have the lengths 5 and 12. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Answer: 13

The legs of a triangle have the lengths 7 and 11. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Answer: sqrt(170)

The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle is 25. One of the legs has length 24. What is the length of the other leg? Answer:7

The length of the hypotenuse of a triangle is 15. One of the legs has length 12. What is the length of the other leg? Answer: 9

The length of the hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle is 8. What is the length of the two legs? Answer: 4sqrt(2)

Answer 2

"The legs of a triangle have the lengths 5 and 12. What is the length of the hypotenuse?"


(5*5)+(12*12)=c^2

25+144=c^2

169=c^2

so just find the square root of 169 on your calculator. It should be 13.

Remember this only works if it is a right triangle.

Answer 3

12 squared + 5 squared= 13 sqaured
8 squared + 15 squared= 17 squared
6 squared + 9 squared=??
7 squared + 10 squared=??
9 squared + 40 squared= 41 squared

Answer 4

a 2 +b 2 = c 2
find both legs. square them, then add the results. find the square root of that number. it is your hypotenuse. good luck

Answer 5

"a" squared plus "b" squared = "c" squared. "c" must always be the hypotenuse, just put the other numbers into the equation and solve for whichever one you are missing.

Answer 6

3 sides right.... if you know the 2 that make up the right angle(lets call them A and B)
square root of(A*A+B*B)=third side
if
you know one side of the right angle (B) and the other side (C) than
square root of(C*C-B*B)=last side (A)

hope i helped

Answer 7

a2+b2=c2

a and b are the legs.

i don't know the question so it's really confusing

Answer 8

I don't even understand your question, you worded it weird

Answer 9

What is the question?

Answer 10

ask your teacher
