Question

Pythagorean theorem round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14.97

Step-by-step explanation:

a= 10 c=18

1. plug variables in for pythagorean theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$→$10^2+b^2=18^2$

2.solve for b from pythagorean theorem.

$10^2+b^2=18^2$→$100+b^2=324$

                          -100         -100

$b^2=224$→$b=\sqrt{224}$

b = 14.9666295.....

3. Round variable b to the nearest hundreth assuming they expect that and change the variable to x since we were actually looking for x.

b=14.9666....→ b(estimated)= 14.97

x(estimated)=14.97

Answer 2

The answer your going To end up with is x=14.97
