Question

Phythagorean theorem help plsss rnnn

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c (the hypotenuse, or longest leg) = 10, a or b = 6

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36 + b^2 = 100

b^2 = 64

b = 8

Answer 2

8 m

Explanation:

Diagonal: Hypotenuse

Let the hypotenuse (diagonal) be c, Stafford street be a, and let Silvergrove Avenue be b.

Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Lets plug them in!

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36 + b^2 = 100

b^2= 100 - 36

b^2 = 64

64 is the exponential value of b, meaning to lower it to its original terms, we apply the opposite of squaring. Which is finding the square root.

`√(64)` = 8

Therefore Silvergrove Avenue is 8 m.
