Using the following picture which side is the hypotenuse?
1 answer:
Hi!
A <u>hypotenuse</u> is the longest leg in a right triangle.
A <u>right triangle</u> is a triangle that has one 90 degree angle.
The hypotenuse is always directly across from the right angle.
In pictures, right angles are represented by a square.
<u><em>Therefore, the side with the hypotenuse is side 3</em></u>, because we can see that the angle between side 1 and side 2 is the right angle, and the hypotenuse would be directly across.

This appears to be just an expression we are simplifying, not an equation we are solving. I THINK you are saying that the expression looks like this:
If you rationalize the denominator, you would get this expression:
which, after simplifying, looks like this:
and that's as simple as I can see that one getting. You can't factor anything out of the denominator to cancel with the numerator, so I think you're as simple as you can get there!
