Using the formula a² + b² = c² but reversing it to c² - b² = x² where x replaces the a for comprehension reasons

so this is the formula
c² - b² = x²

insert the numbers on the triangle in the picture
21² - 8² = 377

since 377 is squared and not the side length, we need to square root it to find x
√377 = 19.4~

Answer: x = 19.4

The horizontal line segment at the top of the polygon on the grid below is how many units long?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

6 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A polygon drawn on a graph.

In order to determine the distance of the horizontal line at the top, we find the coordinates of the end points and then use distance formula to find the exact distance.

Let us label the polygon as ABCD as shown below. AB is the length of the horizontal line.

Coordinates of A are $(x_1,y_1)=(-3, 4)$ as seen in the graph.
