Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows that the one triangle can be divided into two equal right triangles. Because of this, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem. a and b are the two sides of the angles, and c is the hypotenuse.
The given lengths are 5 as the hypotenuse and 3 as one length. (You have 3 as a given length because the two triangles have a length of 6 on one side. 6/2 = 3)
a² + b² = c²
a² = c² - b²
a² = 5² - 3²
a² = 25² - 9²
a² = 16
a = 4
1-(-8)
1+8 (add a line change the sign)
=9
The answer is 3 because if you were to round 2.9 the next whole up from that is 3
