Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth
1 answer:

Length of the base = 8
Length of the hypotenuse = 17

The length of the third side ''
".


Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²
+ (8)² = (17)²
+ 64 = 289
= 289 - 64
= 225
= 
= 
Therefore, the length of the missing side
is
.

(15)² + (8)² = (17)²
225 + 64 = 289
289 = 289
L.H.S. = R. H. S.
Hence verified.

Answer:
GCF(greatest common factor) of 5 is 5.
Let d = discriminant
d = b^2 - 4ac
Let a = 2, b = 4 and c = -9
We now plug and chug.
d = (4)^2 - 4(2)(-9)
d = 16 - 8(-9)
d = 16 + 72
d = 88
