Answer:
1) x = 51
2) x = 8
3) x = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] or approximately 1.4142
Step-by-step explanation:
These are simple Pythagorean theorem questions. Remember, the Pythagorean theorem states that [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex], where a and b represent the legs of the triangles, and c represents the hypotenuse, the side opposite to the 90 degree angle in the triangle. Now simply use the values of a, b, or c, depending on what is given, to solve for the missing side x.
In question 1, you have two legs with sides 45 and 24. Therefore use the Pythagorean theorem where a and b equal 45 and 24 respectively.
[tex]45^2+24^2 = x^22025+576 = x^22601 = x^2x = 51[/tex]
So the answer to question 1 is 51. Repeat this process for the rest of the questions.
In question 2, we are given the hypotenuse and 1 leg, and are missing the other leg. So set your equation up like so, and then solve,
[tex]x^2+6^2=10^2x^2+36=100x^2=64x=8[/tex]
So the answer to question 2 is 8. Now one last time for the 3 and final question. We are given two legs, and are missing the hypotenuse. So set your equation up similar to the first question.
[tex]1^2+1^2=x^21+1=x^22 = x^2x = \sqrt{2}[/tex]
So the answer to question 3 is [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex], or approximately 1.4142
