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

ammie pays $30 for a bag that she buys at a discount of 50%. What is the price of the bag without the discount? A. $30 B. $45 C.
Liula [17]

This would be C. 60$

This is because if she got the bag for 50% off, 30 divided by 2 is 15$, 45 divided by 2 is 22.5, 60 divided by 2 is 30$ so option C. Would be your answer.
