Help please!! I will mark brainilist and give a lot of points.



This is Pythagorean theorem.


Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2


When I say ^2 I mean to the power of 2.


The question is asking me to solve for a.


Then give me b and c which is b = 17 1/3 and c = 16.


How do I solve for a when b is greater than c? Won’t that give me a negative a? You can’t have a negative a right?


Unless I’m wrong.



Please help my solve this!!!!! :D

Sagot :

Answer:

a = 23.588

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 = 17 1/3^2 + 16^2

a^2 = 300.4 + 256

a^2 = 556.4

a = 23.588 (I rounded to thousandths but you can round to whatever)

Hello there,

  • I just looked into the question and you are absolutely right whatever you inferred.
  • I think the question might be wrong.
  • The value of c should be greater than b.
  • I guess it will like this:
  • [tex]b = 16 \: \: \: c = 17 \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
  • The values should be like this.
  • I am solving the equation by this:
  • [tex] {a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = {(17 \frac{1}{3}) }^{2} - {(16)}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = {( \frac{52}{3} )}^{2} - {(16)}^{2} \\ = > {a}^{2} = ( \frac{52}{3} - 16)( \frac{52}{3} + 16) \\ = > {a}^{2} = ( \frac{52 - 48}{3} )( \frac{52 + 48}{3} ) \\ = > {a}^{2} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{100}{3} \\ = > {a}^{2} = \frac{400}{9} \\ = > a = \sqrt{ \frac{400}{9} } \\ = > a = \frac{20}{3} \\ = > a = 6 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
  • So, the value of a is
  • [tex]a = 6 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

Hope you could get an idea from it.
