Question 32634: Im trying to solve this:
Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 5 inches and 10 inches.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 10^2 =c^2
25 + 100 = 125
is this right or not because its asking for a right triangle and what i come up with doesnt make it one.!
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
25+100=125 IS OK NOW TAKE THE SQRT OF 125 YOU GET 11.180 INCHES WHICH IS THE HYPOTENUSE OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLE WHOSE OTHER SIDES ARE 5 & 10 INCHES
HOWEVER THE SUM OF THE SQRTS ARE NOT EQUAL. THAT IS 5+10 DOES NOT = 11.180.
ONLY THE SQUARES ARE EQUAL a~2+B~2=C~2
