B 15 C А. Find the length of "a"using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sav [38]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length <em>a</em>.

<u>Step 2: Define</u>

hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 15

leg <em>b</em> = 9

leg <em>a</em> = ?

<u>Step 3: Find missing length </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables:                    a² + 9² = 15²
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                  a² = 15² - 9²
  3. Exponents:                                       a² = 225 - 81
  4. Subtract:                                           a² = 144
  5. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                           a = ±12

Since we are not dealing with a quadrant triangle, we can disregard the negative root of the quadratic.

∴ <em>a</em> = 12 is our final answer.
