Question

XYZ is a right-angled triangle. Calculate the length of XZ. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places. PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION

Answer 1

Answer:

3.52 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete.

Let us assume XY = 1.35 m and YZ = 3.25 m.

If XZ is the longest side of the right-angled triangle (that is the hypotenuse), we can calculate XZ using the Pythagoras theorem.

The Pythagoras theorem state that the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides of the triangle.

That is for Triangle XYZ with XZ as hypotenuse:

XZ² = XY² + YZ²

Substituting:

XZ² = 1.35² + 3.25²

XZ² = 1.8225 + 10.5625

XZ² = 12.385

XZ = √12.385 = 3.5192

XZ = 3.52 m to 2 decimal places
