Answer:
WOW that's tough to read all squished together!!!
Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as 7 centimeters. The hypotenuse is labeled as 13 centimeters.
Jayden's Work
Sheridan's Work
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + b2 = c
272 + 132 = c272 + b2 = 132
49 + 169 = c
249 + b2 = 169
218 = c2b2 = 120
Square root 218 equals square root c squared.
Square root b squared equals
square root 120.
14.76 ≈ cb ≈
10.95Is either of them correct?
***************************************************
In a right triangle
hypotenuse^2 = leg1 ^2 + leg2^2
13^2 = 7^2 + leg2^2
leg2^2 = 120
leg 2 = 10.9544511501
Basically, whoever said 10.95 is correct.
