Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The described right triangle is in the attachment.
As it is shown, AC is the hypotenuse and BC and AB are the sides, so use Pytagorean Theorem to find the unknown measure:
AC² = AB² + BC²
AB = 5.4
Then, right triangle ABC measures:
AB = 5.4cm
BC = 4.5cm
AC = 7cm
1/6·30=5
so your answer is b)5
OK so where is the weekly math homework!?
Answer:
Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).
This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.
