Question

Calculate the missing value. (Not drawn to scale.)

Answer 1

Answer:5in

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the triangle

you are given a right triangle with the hypotonus missing and are given the side lengths 3 and 4 you know the hypotonus is 5 by the 3,4,5 Pythagorean tripe, if you do not notice this it can be solved with the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

2. solve (if not done with 3,4,5 triple)

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

5=c | square root both sides to cancel the square
