If the two sides with length 3 and 4 are the two legs, then the missing side, i.e. the hypotenuse, is indeed 5.
But it could also be the case that 4 is the hypotenuse and 3 is one of the legs. In this case, the missing side is the other leg, so we calculate it using
So, a right triangle with legs and 3 has an hypotenuse of 4.
Given:
The figure of two parallel lines MP and QS.
A transversal line KL interests the two parallel lines.
To find:
The .
Solution:
If a transversal line intersect the two parallel lines, then the corresponding angles are congruent and their measures are equal.
In the given figure and
corresponding angles. It means their measures are equal.
Therefore, .
