The triangle is the picture down below.

Bonnie has a really yummy sandwich that is shaped like a right triangle. There is a 3 in. line, a 5 in. line, and there’s another line that is unknown. How would solve this problem by using the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of one of the lines? Be sure to show all of your work.

Answer 1

`\huge\green{\overline{\underline{\rm{\purple{꧁⫷ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ⫸꧂ }}}}}`

`5^2 = 3^2 + ( \:)^2`

`25 = 9 + (\:) ^2`

`16 = (\:) ^2`

`\sf \green {{=4}}`

Answer 2

4 in

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Solve this problem by writing that relationship using the given information, then solving the equation for the missing side.

__

5² = 3² + ?²

25 = 9 + ?² . . . . . simplify

16 = ?² . . . . . . . . . subtract 9

4 = ? . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The missing length is 4 inches.
