Question

x,y, and z to the nearest tenth .(hint: use altitude and leg rules) PLEASE HELP FAST !!! please solve and show steps

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find z:

z = √(6^2 + 9^2)

z= √(36 + 81)

z = √117

z = 3√13 = 10.8

Use leg rule to find x:

x/6 = 6/9

Cross multiply:

9x = 36

Divide both sides by 9:

x = 36/9

x = 4

Use Pythagorean theorem to find y:

y = √(6^2 + 4^2)

y= √(36 + 16)

y = √52

y = 2√13 = 7.2
