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)

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Option B. 3 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a circumcenter of a triangle we draw the perpendicular bisectors of the the sides of the triangle first.

Intersection point of these perpendiculars drawn is the circumcenter of the circle.

Distances of the circumcenter to the vertices are same, that means distance of circumcenter from the vertex is the radius of the circle.

Therefore, length of AE and AD will be same in measure.

AE = AD

2n + 4 = 10

2n = 10 - 4

2n = 6

n = 3

Therefore, Option B. 3 is the answer.
