Question

Create a problem using the Pythagorean theorem. Then, solve the problem you’ve created showing all steps.

Answer 1

Draw a right triangle and name it ABC- C is your right angle. A is the angle above C and B is the angle on the side of C. AC=12 and CB=5, you have to find AB using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem you say:

AB²=AC²+CB²

AB²=12²+5²

AB²=144+25

AB²=169

AB=√169

AB= 13
