Question

Do u mind solving question one for me? It’s geometry!

Answer 1

Given:

Sides of right angle triangle, hypotenuse=27 base=16

To know:

Perpendicular height x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagoras theorem,

`Base^2+\text{ Perpendicular}^2=Hypotenuse^2`

Solution:

We will apply pythagoras theorem here as:

`\begin{gathered} 16^2+x^2=27^2 \\ x^2=27^2-16^2 \\ x^2=473 \\ x=21.75 \end{gathered}`

Hence, length of x is 21.75
