The longest side in a right triangle is 24 cm, and the second longest side is 20 cm. Find the length of the shortest side
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

13.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

hyp² = (2nd longest side)² + (shortest side)².  Here the numbers are:

(24 cm)² = (20 cm)² + (shortest side)², or

576 - 400 = 176 = hyp²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get (shortest side) = 13.3 cm

Abdul is working on a project and has cut a number of wooden blocks of equal size that are represented by this right rectangular
Valentin [98]

The amount of fabric needed to cover 8 blocks is 192cm.

<h3>How much fabric is needed to cover 8 blocks?</h3>

In order to determine the amount of fabric needed, the total surface area of the rectangular prism has to be determined. The total surface area of the rectangular prism is the sum of the areas its faces.

Total surface area of a rectangular prism = 2 (lw + wh + lh)

where:

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h = height

2 x [(4 x 1/2) + (1/2 x 2) + (4 x2)] = 24cm

Fabric needed fo 8 blocks = 24 x 8 = 192cm
