Question

HELPPP PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hypotenuse: 65

Leg: 25

Let Hypotenuse be c, and leg be a

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

`a^(2) + 25^(2) = 65^(2)`

`a^(2) + 625 = 4225\\`

`a^(2)` = 4225 - 625

`a^(2)` = 3600

3600 is the exponential value of a, meaning we need to apply the opposite of squaring to get the value of b. Which is square rooting.

a =
`√(3600\\)`

a = 60

Therefore a is equal to 60 feet

Answer 2

60

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2+25^2 = 65^2

a^2 +625 = 4225

a^2 = 4225-625

a^2=3600

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(3600)

a = 60
