Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular door for a shed has a width of 42 in and a diagonal support of 94 in. The triangle formed by the rectangle's width (first leg), rectangle's length (second leg) and rectangle's diagonal (hypotenuse) is right triangle. By the Pythagorean theorem,
Thus,
Answer:
b = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this is a right triangle with hypotenuse = c and legs a and b
Then using Pythagoras' identity.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
a² + b² = c², and substituting values
15² + b² = 39², that is
225 + b² = 1521 ( subtract 225 from both sides )
b² = 1296 ( take the square root of both sides )
b = = 36
