use Pythagoras theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2}  + b ^{2}  = c ^{2}  \\ a ^{2}    +  12 ^{2}  = 13 ^{2}  \\ a = 5

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute

b = 12

c = 13

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

a^2 + 144 = 169

a^2 = 25

a = \sqrt{25} \\

a = 5

Find the perimeter of a square of whose diagonal measures 12cm
Schach [20]

check the picture below.


recall that in a square, all four sides are equal, therefore b = a.


so the perimeter is then 6√2 + 6√2 + 6√2 + 6√2, or 24√2.

Answer:

x = 323 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides would be in proportion:

3ft = 3*12 = 36 in

5ft 8 in = 5*12 + 8 = 68 in

14 ft 3 in = 14*12 + 3 = 171 in

\frac{3 \: ft}{14 \: ft \: 3 \: in}  =  \frac{5 \: ft \: 8 \: in}{x}  \\  \\  \frac{36}{171}  =  \frac{68}{x}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{171 \times 68}{36}  \\  \\ x =   \frac{11628}{36}  \\  \\ x = 323 \: in \:  \\  \\ x = 26 ft \: 11  in
