Question

The dimensions of a right triangle are shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

18.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you would use Pythagorean Theorem or a^2+b^2=c^2. Don't forget that the c in the formula is always your hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle. The a and the b are always the legs of the triangle. (It doesn't matter which leg is which letter) The hypotenuse is also always across from the 90 degree angle. Picture the 90 degree angle as an arrow pointing to the hypotenuse.  In this case, the hypotenuse (or c) is 20.7 cm. Now all you have to do is plug and chug! I hope this helps you and thanks for asking your question!!
