Algebra.Com's Answer #197061 by drk(1908) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are two ways to solve this based on your knowledge level: \n" ); document.write( "(1) a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \n" ); document.write( "7^2 + b^2 = 14^2 \n" ); document.write( "49 + b^2 = 196 \n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 147 \n" ); document.write( "b = 12.12 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "(2) one side is 1/2 the hypotenuse. the other side is that side x sqrt(3). IN our case we get 7*sqrt(3) \n" ); document.write( " |
