Question

What is the length of line segment HJ? 5 units 5 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units 10 units 10 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

5 units × root 3.

Explanation:

Given:

HG = 5

GJ = 10

Using pythagorean theorem,

Hyp^2 = adj^2 + opp^2

HJ^2 + HG^2 = GJ^2

HJ^2 = 10^2 - 5^2

HJ = sqrt(10^2 - 5^2)

= sqrt (75)

= 5 × sqrt(3)
