It is difficult to find length that way because you still need that extra step where are apply the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs), which could use a lot of useless squaring, when you could do something clever instead.

Answer:

bc the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the other two legs. thats why the equation is:  a^2(hypotenuse) = b^2  + c^2 (the other two legs)

Complement angles equal to 90.

Alchen [17]
<span>Hello,
For this 12x-3x+11>4x-(17-9x)let's rewrite it as:
12x-3x+11>4x-17+9x
Now combine like terms:
9x+11>13x-17
Subtract 9x and add 17 to get:

28>4x
Divide by 4:
7>x or rewritten as:
x<7
Make sense?</span>
