Answer:
53.58in.
Step-by-step explanation:
17 x 3.14
circumference = pi x Diameter
Given:
Base of a right triangle = 7 in
Height of a right triangle = a
Hypotenuse = 16 in
To find:
The length of side a.
Solution:
Using Pythagoras theorem:
In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Subtract 49 from both sides.
Taking square root on both sides, we get
a = 14.4
The length of side a is 14.4 in.
In mathematics, the statement if a, then b, says that if a is true, then be is true. If you think about it, this makes sense too. That means that the answer is C., because of the definition of the statement.
