A right triangle can be considered as a special type
because the relationship of its sides can be described using the hypotenuse
formula:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
or
c^2 = x^2 + y^2
where,
c is the hypotenuse of the triangle and is the side
opposite to the 90° angle
while a and b are the sides adjacent to the 90° angle
In the problem statement, we are given that one of the
side has a measure of 2 = x, while the hypotenuse is 5 = c, therefore calculating
for y:
y^2 = c^2 – x^2
y^2 = 5^2 – 2^2
y^2 = 21
y = 4.58
The natural number is the number before the decimal.
Therefore the answer is:
y = 4
Answer: x < 4
Step-by-step explanation: You are trying to isolate the variable, x, so you have to subtract 1 on both sides of the inequality. Then, you are left with x < 4.
