Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

Answer:

a. Jared and Ali

Step-by-step explanation:

b. Molly make mistake when he/she divide all equation by 4 but left the 8x remain 8x, it should be 2x.

Mark make mistake in changing the sign whitout changing side/ passing trough equal sign. FYI, + can be - and also - can be + if they move to the other side

i.e.

2 + 3 = 5

2 = 5 - 3

Find the length of the third side if necessary round to the nearest tenth
Fantom [35]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the missing side as x

Base on the pythagorean theorem, we have :
17² - 15² = x²

289 - 225 = x²

x² = 64

So, x equals 8.

Hope it helps
