What is the length of the longer side in this triangle

Mathematics

Elena L [17]3 years ago

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)

12. 121 -rational

13. 4.5 -rational

14. 3 7/10 -rational

As you can see, most numbers are rational. But, when you come across pi or when you have a decimal that goes on forever without repeating (like some square roots), it tends to be irrational.
