Find the length of the missing side using the pythagorean theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²

You can fill in the numbers you know: a²+4²=5²

(Hypotenuse must be side c)

Square those numbers and you have: a²+16=25

Subtract 16 from both sides: a²=9

Square root both sides and you get: a=3

Use the pythagoream theorem to check. a^2+b^2=c^2

a=15 b=36 c= 39

225+1296=1521

The equation is true so it is a right triangle.

Solve the equation p^2 + 4p = 1 by completing the square.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)
