Question:-
Write an equation to determine the unknown side. Then solve the equation
Given:-
- Right angle triangle
- Hypotenuse = 12
- Base = 4
Answer:-
To Find:- Perpendicular = x
Formula:- Pythagoras theorem
hypotenuse ² = perpendicular ² + base ²
h² = p² + b²
12²= x² + 4²
144 = x² + 16
144-16 = x²
128 = x²
✓128 = x = 11.3
So ATQ :- Round to the nearest tenth.
Your answer :- perpendicular = x = 11
so sides of triangle are
- hypotenuse = h = 12
- perpendicular = x = 11
- base = b = 4
