Hey ! there
Answer:
- Value of missing side i.e. TE is 12 feet
Explanation:
In this question we are provided with a right angle triangle having TS - 35 ft and SE - 37 ft . And we are asked to find the missing side that is TE using Pythagorean Theorem .
Pythagorean Theorem : -
According to Pythagorean Theorem sum of squares of perpendicular and base is equal to square of hypotenuse in a right angle triangle i.e.
Where ,
- P refers to Perpendicular
Solution : -
In the given triangle ,
- Perpendicular = TS ( 35 feet )
- Hypotenuse = SE ( 37 feet )
Now applying Pythagorean Theorem :
Substituting values :
Simplifying it ,
Subtracting 1225 on both sides :
We get ,
Applying square root to both sides :
We get ,
- Henceforth , value of missing side is 12 feet .
Verifying : -
Now we are verifying our answer using Pythagorean Theorem . We know that according to Pythagorean Theorem ,
Substituting value of SE , TS and TE :
Therefore , our answer is correct .
