You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
Answer:
985
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 765 from 1750 or do this 1750
- 765
--------------
985
For this, you need the pythagorean theorem, which is
Your a is 12, and your b is 35. Now you can solve for c, which equals 37 miles.
