Question

Given: hypotenuse = 5
adjacent = 3
Find Find opposite =

Answer 1

Opposite is = 4

Explanation:

Fromthe question Hypotenuse = 5

Adjacent = 3

opposite = ?

Let opposite = x

Hypotenuse² = adjacent² + opposite²

5² = 3² + x²

25 = 9 + x²

25 - 9 = x²

16 = x²

`√(16) = \sqrt{ {x}^(2) } \\ = √(16) = x \\ = 4 = x`

Therefore opposite is = 4.
