Question

refer to the diagram of a right triangle to solve this problem : find a and b correct ro the nearest hundreth. a=b,c=60. Explain thanks!

Answer 1

Use Pythagorem theorem (Sorry I can't spell)
but use one variable (a) since a and b are same

60=a^2+a^2
60=2a^2
30=a^2
a=square root of 30
a= 5.48 (round to nearest 100)

since a and b are same, they are 5.48
note that a^2 means a to the power of 2
