Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90° triangle measures 10 inches.

To find the length of one of the legs, we use the idea of Pythagorean Triples.

Pythagorean Triples are any set of three numbers that satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem. Some common examples are:

  • 3, 4 and 5
  • 5, 12 and 13
  • 9, 40 and 41

Note that in a Pythagorean Triple,

  • The longest length is always the Hypotenuse.
  • New Triples can be formed from product of existing triples.

In our given triangle, the Hypotenuse=10 Inches

Consider the Pythagorean Triple 3,4, and 5

  • 5 is the Hypotenuse
  • Multiply the Triples by 2, we obtain:
  • 6, 8 and 10 (in which 10 is the hypotenuse)

Therefore, 6 and 8 could be the length of a leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.

The width of a rectangular parking lot at the meadowlands is 3/8 mile. If the area is 5/8 square mile, what is the length of the
Umnica [9.8K]

let width is x and length is y

x * y = area

=> 3/8 * y = 5/8

=> y = 5/8 ÷ 3/8

=> y = 5/8 * 8/3 = 5/3

the length of the rectangular parking lot is 5/8 mile.

In a right triangle the length of a hypotenuse is c and the length of one leg is a, and the length of the other leg is b, what i
nevsk [136]

The Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

... c² = a² + b²

... 13² = 12² + b² . . . . . fill in the given numbers

... 169 - 144 = b² . . . . .subtract 12²

... √25 = b . . . . . . . . . take the square root

... b = 5 . . . . . . The value of b you're looking for.

_____

The numbers {5, 12, 13} make what is called a "Pythagorean triple" a set of integers that satisfies the relation of the Pythagorean theorem. These, and the triple {3, 4, 5} are often seen in algebra problems. It can be worthwhile to remember these numbers.
