Question

Find the missing length of the triangle.

Answer 1

do Pythagorus theorem a = √(6.1^2 -1.1^2) = 6.19 or you can say 6.2 if you round it.

Answer 2

This is a right angled triangle so, we can use pythagoras theorem, that is

• H² = P² + B² { H = Hypotenus; P = Perpendicular; B = Base }

And from the question we have;

• H = 6.1 yd
• B = 1.1 yd
• P = a { we need to find }

Put all of these values in pythagoras theorem;

• H² = P² + B²
• 6.1² = a² + 1.1²
• 37.21 - 1.21 = a²
• √36.00 = a
• 6 yb = a

Thus, the value of the missing length of the triangle is 6 yb.
