right triangle. Show work that leads to your answers. Round answers. To the nearest tenth as
needed.
1. a = 11
b =
C = 41
2. a = 2
b= 3
C=
3. a =
b = 9
C = 21

Answer 1

1. b=39.497

2. c=3.606

3. a=18.974

Explanation:

1.

41^2-11^2=b^2

1681-121=b^2

b^=1560

b=39.497

2.

2^2+3^2=c^2

4+9=c^2

c^2=13

c=3.606

3.

21^2-9^9=a^2

441-81=a^2

a^2=360

a=18.974
