Given:

In a triangle, length of one side is 8 inches and length of another side is 12 inches, and an angle is a right angle.

To find:

The length of the missing side.

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

Suppose the measures of sides adjacent to the right angle are 8 inches and 12 inches.  

Substituting Perpendicular = 8 inches and Base = 12 inches, we get

Hypotenuse^2=8^2+12^2

Hypotenuse^2=64+144

Hypotenuse^2=208

Taking square root on both sides, we get

Hypotenuse=\sqrt{208}

Hypotenuse=14.422205

Hypotenuse\approx 14.4

The length of the missing side is 14.4 inches. Therefore, the correct option is D.

the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 17 inches, and the area is 18 square inches. what are the length and width of the
dimaraw [331]

The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=b*h

18=(W+17)*W

18=W²+17W

W²+17W-18=0

Solving this quadratic equation, you have:

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}

w1=1 and w2= -18

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in
