A triangle is shown.
1 answer:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the unknown side length of the triangle is of 7.9 cm.
<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs and
of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:
Researching this problem on the internet, we have that:
- The unknown side length is of a leg of x.
- The other leg is of 9 cm.
- The hypotenuse is of 12 cm.
Hence:
x² + 9² = 12²
x = sqrt(12² - 9²)
x = 7.9 cm.
The unknown side length of the triangle is of 7.9 cm.

we can divide the composite shape into on quadrilateral and triangle as shown in the diagram. since the line that joins the two shape is parallel to the base AB, the angle DEC is 85°.The angle CEA is 180°- angle DEC = 180-85=95. Angle BCE is sum of angle CEA, ABC and EAB subtracted from360°= 360°-(95+95+85)=85°. Angle DCE is 120°- ECB=35°. So, angle CDE = 180°-(35°+85°)= 60°. For reference see the diagram.
