550-500 is not 500 it’s 50
Did you notice the little box with corners marked in the angle down at the bottom ?
That angle is a right angle, and <em>this triangle is a right triangle</em> !
This piece of information is a big help. It breaks the problem wide open.
You know that in order to find the longest side of a right triangle . . .
-- Square the length of one short side.
-- Square the length of the other short side.
-- Add the two squares together.
-- Take the square root of the sum.
One short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
The other short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
Add the two squares: 2,304 + 2,304 = 4,608
The square root of the sum = √4,608 = <em><u>67.88</u></em> (rounded)
Answer:
120 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 is 6 months and 6 years are 72 months.
Using the rule of three, 10 cm is to 6 months what x is for 72 months so
x = (72 * 10) / 6 = 120
67 meters because if you use the triangle congruent method with the altitude at 65 degrees you should get the right answer
