Question

Will mark brainiest

Answer 1

N=55

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

48^2 + B^2 = 73^2

2304 + B^2 = 5329

-2304 -2304

B^2 = 3025

Sqrt B^2= sqrt 3025

B= 55

Answer 2

Answer:

N = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

make use of Pythagoras theorem

which is :

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c is the hypotenuse

a is the adjacent

b is the opposite

c = 73

a = 48

b = N

now plug these in the formula

73^2 = 48^2 + N^2

now make N the subject of formula

73^2 - 48^2 = N^2

3025 = N^2

$\sqrt{3025}$ = N

N = 55 --- the murder was not done with a fallen object
