Answer 1

Answer:

Question 16: 44 inches

Question 18: 10, 24, 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 16:

Pythagoras Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and the longest side.

125^2 = 117^2 + b^2

15,625 = 13,689 + b^2

15,625 - 13689 = b^2

1936 = b^2

√1936 = b

44 = b

Question 18:

Pythagoras Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and the longest side. You have to try all the possibilities. The ones that match are the lengths.

The answers are 10, 24, 26

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

26^2 = 10^2 + 24^2

676 = 100 + 576

676 = 676
