Question

Using the graph above, find the approximate length of side UW.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.8102...

Step-by-step explanation:

to find UW we must use the Pythagoras theorem: $a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

so the length of side VW is 6 units let this be a.

the length of side VU is 5 units, this will be b

$6^{2}$ = 36 $5^{2}$ = 25

25+36 = 61

then you take the square root of 61, $\sqrt{61}$

the side is approximately 7.8102...
