Sagot :

Answer Should be B) 130.1 cm

Approximately [tex]130.1[/tex] cm more centimeters of wood will need to complete the support.

What is right triangle ?

Right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is of [tex]90^0[/tex] .

We have,

Hypotenuse [tex]=92[/tex] cm

Let,

Perpendicular [tex]= x[/tex] cm

Base [tex]=x[/tex] cm

So,

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]H^2=P^2+B^2[/tex]

So,

[tex]92^2=x^2+x^2[/tex]

[tex]92^2=2x^2[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 = 8464[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 4232[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=65.05[/tex]

So,

Perpendicular [tex]= 65.05[/tex] cm

Base [tex]=65.05[/tex] cm

So,

The required wood to complete support [tex]=65.05+65.05=130.1[/tex] cm

Hence, we can say that approximately [tex]130.1[/tex] cm more centimeters of wood will need to complete the support.
