\sf\large \green{\underbrace{\red{Answer⋆}}}:

TE = 12 feet

Explanation:


\textsf {\underline{ \large {To find :-}}}

length of TE


\sf {\underline {\large {Given :-}}}

TS = 35 feet

SE = 37 feet


\sf{ \green {\underline{ \underline {\huge{Solution :-}}}}}

According to Pythagoras theorem


\sf \pink {hypotenuse^(2) = {perpendicular}^(2) + {base}^(2) }

in the diagram

SE is our hypotenuse as it is front of 90°

TS is our perpendicular

TE is our base

So with the above formula we can find our base which is TE


\sf \implies {37}^(2) = {35}^(2) + {base}^(2) \\ \\ \sf \implies 1369 = 1225 + {base}^(2) \\ \\ \sf \implies 1369 - 1225 = {base}^(2) \\ \\ \sf \implies 144 = {base}^(2) \\ \\ \sf \implies √(144) = base \\ \\ \sf \implies { \fbox {\blue {12 = base}}}

It's means our TE is 12 feet

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.

  • H² = P² + B²

Where ,

  • H refers to Hypotenuse

  • P refers to Perpendicular

  • B refers to Base

Solution : -

In the given triangle ,

  • Base = TE

  • Perpendicular = TS ( 35 feet )

  • Hypotenuse = SE ( 37 feet )

Now applying Pythagorean Theorem :


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:SE {}^(2) = TS {}^(2) + TE {}^(2)

Substituting values :


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:37 {}^(2) = 35 {}^(2) + TE {}^(2)

Simplifying it ,


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:1369 = 1225 + TE {}^(2)

Subtracting 1225 on both sides :


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:1369 - 1225 = \cancel{1225} + TE {}^(2) - \cancel{1225}

We get ,


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:144 = TE {}^(2)

Applying square root to both sides :


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \ √( 144) = \sqrt{TE {}^(2)}

We get ,


\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: \red{\underline{\boxed{\frak{TE = 12 \: feet}}}} \quad \bigstar

  • 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 ,

  • SE² = TS² + TE²

Substituting value of SE , TS and TE :

  • 37² = 35² + 12²

  • 1369 = 1225 + 144

  • 1369 = 1369

  • L.H.S = R.H.S

  • Hence , Verified .

Therefore , our answer is correct .
