So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Right? That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this case. We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b. a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.
So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c. We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.
39^2 + 40^2 = x^2
I'll let you take it from there.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the polygon into 3 triangles as pictured below
<u>They have base and height:</u>
- 4 and 3, 1 and 1, 3 and 1
<u>Find the area of 3 triangles and add up:</u>
- A = 1/2*4*3 + 1/2*1*1 + 1/2*1*3 = 6 + 1/2 + 3/2 = 8 square units
the shorter sides are 4 inches and the longer sides are 21 inches long
