Question

Using Pythagoras theorem work out the length of AB

Answer 1

Answer:

AB = 23.40 cm

Solution,

Base ( BC ) = 22 cm

Perpendicular ( AC) = 8 cm

Hypotenuse (AB) = ?

Now,

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

${h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${h}^{2} = {(8)}^{2} + {(22)}^{2}$

${h}^{2} = 64 + 484$

${h}^{2} = 548$

$h = \sqrt{548}$

$h = 23.40 \: cm$

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...
