Question

What is the measure of side bc use the appropriate unit of measure

Answer 1

5 m

Explanation:

is a right triangle, so we use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse

a² + b² = c²

4² + 3² = c²

16 + 9 = c²

25 = c²

c = √25

c = 5 m

or

is a right triangle, so we use the Pythagoras triple 3, 4 and 5, so the hypotenuse is 5m

Answer 2

Answer: Side BC = 5m

Explanation:

Formula for side BC = √((Side AB^2) + (Side AC^2))

So AB = 3m

AB^2 = 9m

AC = 4m

AC^2 = 16m

9m + 16m = 25m

√25m = 5m

So side BC = 5m

Hope this helps!
