The top predators at the end of a long food chain, such as lake trout, large salmon, and fish-eating gulls, may accumulate concentrations of toxic chemicals (caused by bioaccumulation) high enough to cause serious deformities or worse, death.

A student named Janine says that the measure of side b is 64 ft. Please state whether this is correct or incorrect. If this is i

kolezko [41]

The measure of side b as 64 ft is incorrect. The accurate measure would be 8 ft.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle is the sum of squares of the opposite and the adjacent sides. Mathematically:

$hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2$

In this case, the hypotenuse = 10 ft, the opposite = 6 ft and the adjacent = b

Hence,

b^2 = 10^2 - 6^2

= 100 - 36

= 64

b = √64

= 8 ft

Thus, the side b is 8 ft and not 64 ft.
