Question

SOMEBODY HELP ME GET IT RIGHT IM ALREADY FAILING :( pls its Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2+5^2 = 10^2

a^2 +25 = 100

a^2 = 100-25

a^2 = 75

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) =sqrt(75)

a =8.660254038

Rounding to the nearest tenth

a = 8.7

Answer 2

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 5^2 = 10^2

a^2 + 25 = 100

100 - 25 = a^2

a^2 = 75

sqrt rt 75 = 8.7
