Question

4) Solve the following right thangles: i 25m LOm ii) 24m 7 % 7 m a= ca

Answer 1

i) Using the pythagorean theorem, we'll get that:

`c^2=24^2+10^2`

Solving for c,

`\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{24^2+10^2} \\ \rightarrow c=26 \end{gathered}`

ii) Using the pythagorean theorem. we'll get that:

`25^2=7^2+a^2`

Solving for a,

`\begin{gathered} 25^2=7^2+a^2 \\ \rightarrow a^2=25^2-7^2 \\ \rightarrow a=\sqrt[]{25^2-7^2} \\ \rightarrow a=24 \end{gathered}`
