3 Find The Length Of The Missing Side Given The Information Below A 5 B 25 C 125 D 157 class=

Sagot :

Answer:  12.5  (choice C)

=================================================

We apply the pythagorean theorem to find this answer.

a = 11 and b = 6 are the given legs

c = unknown hypotenuse

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2+b^2 )

c = sqrt( 11^2 + 6^2 )

c = sqrt( 121 + 36 )

c = sqrt( 157 )

c = 12.52996 approximately

c = 12.5

Side note: once you replace 'a' and b with 11 and 6, you can compute everything with a calculator in one single step more or less. The steps above are shown if you wanted to find the exact value sqrt(157).
