Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula and equate to 4

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, a)

d = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(a+1)^2} = \sqrt{0+(a+1)^2} = \sqrt{(a+1)^2} = a + 1 then

a + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

a = 3

Find the missing length for the right triangle described below. B = 21 ft, c=27 ft. Find side a. Round to the nearest whole numb
maksim [4K]

Answer:

16.97 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Side B = 21 ft

Side c = 27 ft

As we know, formula for right triangle is as follows,

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}

So, by putting the value in the formula, we get,

a^{2} = 27^{2} - 21^{2}

a^{2} = 729 - 441

a^{2} = 288

a = 16.97 ft

Hence, the length of the side  for the right triangle is 16.97ft.
