In centimeters, what is the unknown length in this right triangle?
Question
Answer:
Answer:11Explanation:(next time, it would be helpful to include a picture)If you were on the same test as I was, than that means that the triangle you're looking for is the one below.Using the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c² is the same as c² - b² = a²
c = 61 61^2 = 61 X 61 = 3,721
b = 6060^2 = 60 X 60 = 3,600
Next, we subtract:
3,721 - 3,600 = 121
√121 = 11
(x = 11 cm)so 11 is your answer
