pythagorean theorem says legs a and b and hypotenuse c of a right triangle are related via the equation c²=a²+b². in other words, adding the sum of the squares of the legs get you the square of the hypotenuse
if the hypotenuse is 4 meters long, c = 4.
if one leg is 3 meters long, we can choose either a or b to be 3. it does not really matter. let us choose a = 3. now we have to find b.
if we have c²=a²+b², we can solve for b.
subtract a² both sides to get c²-a²=b², and then square root both sides to get
b = √(c²-a²)
plugging in our info we get
b = √(4²-3²) = √(16 -9) = √7
so the answer is √7 meters for 22

two triangles are similar, then the proportion of their sides are the same. the propotion between the smaller triangles' hypotenuse and 2cm leg is 5cm/3cm.
notice how the bigger triangle just have a doubled hypotenuse. therefore, the bigger triangle's x and y are just the corresponding smaller triangle values doubled.
x = 6 and y = 8
Answer:
0.50 ,1/2 as a fraction 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Wall 1 & 2 : 26 ft by 9 ft
Wall 3 : 18 ft by 9 ft
Area 1 : 26 ft x 9 ft = 234 ft²
Area 2 : 26 ft x 9 ft = 234 ft²
Area 3 : 18 ft x 9 ft = 162 ft²
Total Area : 234 ft² + 234 ft² + 162 ft² = 630 ft²
1 Gallon = 250 ft²
630 ft² ÷ 250 ft² per gallon = 2.52 gallons
