Answer:

BC = 4.5 (1 dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras’ Theorem

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

Given:

  • a = AC = 1.5
  • b = AB = 4.2
  • c = BC

Substituting these into the formula and solving for BC:

[tex]\implies 1.5^2+4.2^2=BC^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2.25+17.64=BC^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies BC^2=19.89[/tex]

[tex]\implies BC=\pm\sqrt{19.89}[/tex]

As distance is positive,

⇒ BC = 4.5 (1 dp)
