Question

!PLEASE HELP!

Find the length of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

A) 2.8
B) 6.5
C) 4.7
D) 8.2

Answer 1

B)6.5

Explanation:

H²=P²+B²

7.4²=3.6²+B²

B=√41.8

B=6.465≈ 6.5

Answer 2

Answer: B) 6.5

Explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to solve. The "c" variable is the hypotenuse and the other variables are the legs.

a² + b² = c²

3.6² + b² = 7.4²

12.96 + b² = 54.76

b² = 41.8

b =
`√(41.8)`

b ≈ 6.5

The length of the missing side is about B) 6.5.
