Question

Can someone help me please. im giving 20 points

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

In this case you plug in 12 and 6 in a and b:

12^2 + 6^2= c^2

144 + 36 = 180

`√(180)` = 13.42

Answer 2

13.4 units

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side of the right triangle.

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

The missing side is the hypotenuse. We are given legs with measurements of 12 and 6 units. These would be a and b.

Solve for c:

`12^2+6^2=c^2\\\rightarrow 12^2=144\\\rightarrow 6^2=36\\144+36=c^2\\180=c^2\\√(180)= √(c^2) \\\boxed {13.41640786 = c}`

Round to the nearest tenth.

13.41640786 ... ≈ 13.4

The measure of the missing side should be about 13.4 units.
