Question

Given that the triangles are

similar. Use the Pythagorean
Theorem to help you on these.
Solving for the missing values.
a? + b2 = c?
Right AABC has sides of
AB = 40, BC = 9, & AC = x
where AC is the hypotenuse
AABC ~ ADEF
X =
y =
Right ADEF has sides
DE = Z, EF = y, & DF = 123
Z=p

Answer 1

41 units

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is given by :

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

In a right ΔABC, AB = 40, BC = 9, & AC = x (AC is the hypotenuse)

Using the above theorem,

`x^2=40^2+9^2\\\\x=41`

So, the value of AC is equal to 41 units.
