Question

Determine whether the forces in the pair are pulling at right angles to each other. For the values a = 1.6 and b = 5.8, which are legs of a right triangle, find c, the hypotenuse, to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Approximetly 6

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1.6^2 + 5.8^2 = c^2

2.56 + 33.64 = c^2

36.2 = c^2

c=6 (approximetly)
