To find the hypotenuse the formula would be:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

BUT! These two questions ask for the length of the smaller sides, so we need to rearrange the formula to:

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse, and b is the other known length. Use this formula to solve the length of the unknown side. 

Let's call the unknown side x,

1) a^2 = c^2 - b^2
    x^2 = 17^2 - 15^2
    x^2 = 64
    Square root both sides to get x
    x = 8

2) a^2 = c^2 - b^2
    x^2 = 26^2 - 24^2
    x^2 = 100
    Square root both sides to get x
    x = 10

Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any part of the working you don't understand :)

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 225 = 289
a^2 = 289 - 225
a^2 = 64
sqrt of 64 = 8
a = 8
x = 8

What is the value of h?<br><br> h = 20<br> h = 35<br> h = 55<br> h = 70
Makovka662 [10]
The interior angles next to the 2h angles are congruent and each one measures 70 degrees. Since the interior angle is 70 degrees  the exterior angle is 110 degrees.
2h = 110
divide both sides by 2
h = 55

What is the solution of the equation?<br><br> 35√(x+2)3+3=27
Arte-miy333 [17]

Use this rule: <em>(x^a)^b = x^ab</em>

3(x + 2)^3/5 + 2 = 27

Subtract 3 from both sides

3(x + 2)^3/5 = 27 - 3

Simplify 27 - 3 to 24

3(x + 2)^3/5 = 24

Divide both sides by 3

(x + 2)^3/5 = 24/3

Simplify 24/3 to 8

(x + 2)^3/5 = 8

Take the cube root of both sides

x + 2 = 3/5√8

Invert and multiply

x + 2 = 8^5/3

Calculate

x + 2 = 2^5

Simplify 2^5 to 32

x + 2 = 32

Subtract 2 from both sides

x = 32 - 2

Simplify 32 - 3 to 30

<u>x = 30</u>

Answer: The ladder is 5.3 m long
Step by step solution
1. Draw out the scenario, ie a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the ladder, the wall is 4.5m and the angle the ladder and the ground makes 58 degree.

2. Soh, Cah, Toa
The wall is opposite, the ground is adjacent, and the ladder is hypotenuse
Sine (58) = 4.5/h

3. Solve for hypotenuse
h * sine (58) = 4.5
h = 4.5/sine (58)
h = ~ 5.3 m
