Answer 1

Answer:

1) 20 cm

2) 22.4 in

3) 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, you have to use the Pythagorean theorem.

Why?

Well, because it is a right triangle and you have 2 sides given and you want to find the third side.

Now let's solve this problem!

For number 1 we have:

a = 16 cm and B = 12 cm

you need to find the 3rd side which is c (aka the hypothenuse)

so let's write the equation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Then we substitute with what we have given.

16^2 + 12^2 = c^2

Using a calculator solve the equation

400 = c^2

Now we have to find the square root from both sides of the equation.

c = 20 cm (That's the final answer)

For number 2 we have:

a = 10 in and b = 20 in

we follow the same steps as in number 1

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 20^2 = c^2

500 = c^2

c = 22.4 in (That's the final answer)

For number 3 we have:

a = 9 ft and b = 12 ft

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 12^2 = c^2

225 = c^2

c = 15 ft (That's the final answer)
