Answer:

1) 8 cm

2) 15 ft

3) 3√10 ft = 9.5 ft (nearest tenth)

Explanation:

Pythagoras’ Theorem


a^2+b^2=c^2

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

Question 1

Given:

  • a = 6
  • b = x
  • c = 10

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for x:


\implies 6^2+x^2=10^2


\implies 36+x^2=100


\implies x^2=100-36


\implies x^2=64


\implies x=√(64)


\implies x=8\: \sf cm

Question 2

Given:

  • a = 9 ft
  • b = 12 ft

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for c:


\implies 9^2+12^2=c^2


\implies 81+144=c^2


\implies c^2=225


\implies c=√(225)


\implies c=15\: \sf ft

Question 3

Given:

  • a = 3 ft
  • b = 9 ft

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for c:


\implies 3^2+9^2=c^2


\implies 9+81=c^2


\implies c^2=90


\implies c=√(90)


\implies c=√(9 \cdot 10)


\implies c=√(9)√(10)


\implies c=3√(10)\: \sf ft
