Question

To solve for the missing length, which operation should you perform?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

You should use the Pythagorean theorem

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

9^2+ 12^2 = ?^2

81 +144 = ?^2

225 = ?^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = sqrt(?^2)

15 =?

Answer 2

Answer:

? = 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

h² + b² = ?²

9² + 12² = ?²

81 + 144

225

√225 = 15
