If the length of one leg of a right triangle is 3 and the hypotenuse is √34, what is the length of the other leg?
1 answer:
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 3
b = unknown
c = √34
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
Simplify
9 + b² = 34
solve for b
= 25
Take the square root of both sides to cancel out the square from the b
√b² = √25
b = 5
Hope this helped!

Given:
The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is
To find:
The sum of first six terms.
Solution:
We have,
Sum of first n terms of a GP is
...(i)
Putting n=2, we get
...(ii)
Putting n=4, we get
(Using (ii))
Divide both sides by 6.
Taking square root on both sides, we get
Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get
The sum of first 6 terms is
Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get
The sum of first 6 terms is
Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.
