Question

Anyone have the answer for this

Answer 1

$\huge\bold{Given:}$

Length of the base = 16 km.

Length of the hypotenuse = 34 km. $\huge\bold{To\:find:}$

✎ The length of the missing leg ''$a$".

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}$

The length of the missing leg "a" is$\boxed{30\:km}$.

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}$

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

$({perpendicular})^{2} + ({base})^{2} = ({hypotenuse})^{2} \\ ⇢ {a}^{2} + ({16 \: km})^{2} = ({34 \: km})^{2} \\ ⇢ {a}^{2} + 256 \: {km}^{2} = 1156 \: {km}^{2} \\ ⇢ {a}^{2} = 1156 \: {km}^{2} - 256 \: {km}^{2} \\ ⇢ {a}^{2} = 900 \: {km}^{2} \\ ⇢a \: = \sqrt{900 \: {km}^{2} } \\ ⇢a = \sqrt{30 \times 30 \: {km}^{2} } \\ ⇢a = 30 \: km$

$\sf\blue{Therefore,\:the\:length\:of\:the\:missing\:leg\:"a"\:is\:30\:km.}$

$\huge\bold{To\:verify :}$

$( {30 \: km})^{2} + ({16 \: km})^{2} =( {34 \: km})^{2} \\ ⇝900 \: {km}^{2} + 256 \: {km}^{2} = 1156 \: {km}^{2} \\⇝1156 \: {km}^{2} = 1156 \: {km}^{2} \\ ⇝L.H.S.=R. H. S$

Hence verified. ✔
