Answer:
<u>The missing side is 12 cm length</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to solve the case correctly:
Length of the longest side= 13 cm
Length of one leg = 5 cm
2. Using the Pythagorean theorem for finding the length of the second leg, because this is a right triangle:
2nd leg² = Length of the longest side ² - Length of one leg²
2nd leg² = 13 ² - 5 ²
2nd leg² = 169 -25
2nd leg² = 144
2nd leg = √144
2nd leg = 12 cm
<u>The missing side is 12 cm length</u>
Answer:
16 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two things to keep in mind at this point, the first is that a square has all its sides equal and the second is that the perimeter in this type of figure is the sum of all the sides.
Knowing the above, we can deduce that therefore each side of the square measures 4 meters and the perimeter could be calculated since we know the value of all the sides, we know that a square has four sides:
p = 4 +4 +4 +4
p = 16
that is to say that the perimeter is equal to 16 meters.
