Algebra.Com's Answer #204406 by Mathematicians(84)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am pretty sure the only way to solve this at the level I think you are in is using the formula:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you have a right triangle, then \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so with your example, we are given the diagonal and either A or B, it doesn't matter since A and B are commutative.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I will let B = X (or the answer) \n" ); document.write( "which implies \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "evaluating the squares: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to solve for X, we will want to get it by itself by subtracting 784 on both sides: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finally, square root both sides\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we are talking about measurement, |
