The length of the leg a of the right triangle is obtained by applying the Pythagorean theorem which is given as:
Thus, we have that:
Given that b = 21.5 inches and c = 31.9 inches, we now have:
Therefore, the length of the leg a of the right triangle is 23.6 inches
Answer:
<h3>Explanation:
1.) Rewrite √24 = Rewrite √54 =
Divide both terms by the denominator; √6 cancels. 2-3 = -1
2.) Rewrite as ×
The 3's cancel. 10/2 = 5√2 in the numerator.
√5 × √5 = 5 in the denominator. The 5's cancel.
That leaves √2 ≈1.4142
3.) Divide the terms in the numerator by the term in the denominator.
√2's cancel. 10π/2 = 5π 8π/2 = 4π
Subtract and we are left with π = 3.14159
4.) The square roots are reciprocals. They multiply to 1
We are left with π × π = π² ≈ 9.8696
