- Find x.
To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>
- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.
This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.
So, the truck is delivering a
ton of cement blocks, and a 
of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.
+ = 
And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:
12 ÷ 8 = 1.5
And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.
