(x-3)^2 x=a number in this case
Answer:
yes because it is the opposite side
Answer:
<h2><u>STEPS</u></h2>
-
Step I: Obtain the given number.
- Step II: Resolve the given number into prime factors by successive division.
- Step III: Make pairs of prime factors such that both the factors in each pair are equal. Since the number is a perfect square, you will be able to make an exact number of pairs of prime factors.
- Step IV: Take one factor from each pair.
- Step V: Find the product of factors obtained in step IV.
- Step VI: The product obtained in step V is the required square root.
<h2><u>Example </u></h2>
<u>
Find the square root of 324</u>
- 324 = 2 x 162
- = 2 x 2 x 81
- = 2 x 2 x 3 x 27
- = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 9
- = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
- ∴ √324 = √( 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 )
- √324 = 2 x 3 x 3
- √324 = 18
Let's say the sides are "a" first one, "b" second one and "c" the third one
ok, let's say the shortest is "a"
and let's say "b" is -> "<span> twice the length of the shortest side"
so b = 2a
and let's say "c" is -> "</span><span>3rd side 14 more feet than length of shortest side"
so c = a + 14
we know the perimeter ( sum of all sides ) is 154

solve for "a"</span>
The x is the diagonal side of the triangle. Y and z combine to make the whole bottom side of the whole triangle.
