11. Find the length of the hypotenuse if the two legs are 20cm and 15cm.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that in a right triangle, the lengths of the sides are in proprtion to: 3, 4, and 5, and the hypotenuse is always the longest side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So:
\n" ); document.write( "15 = 3*5
\n" ); document.write( "20 = 4*5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5*5 = 25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse is 25cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6. Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2sqrt%2812%29%2F4sqrt%2827%29\" Cancel 2 in the top and bottom.
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2812%29%2F2sqrt%2827%29\" Simplify the square roots.
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%283%2A4%29%2F2sqrt%283%2A9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2sqrt%283%29%2F3%2A2sqrt%283%29\" Cancel where appropriate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10. The distance between two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29\" Applying this to your two points:(4, 0) and (-9, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+sqrt%28%28-9-4%29%5E2+%2B+%280-0%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+sqrt%28%28-13%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+sqrt%28169%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+13\"
\n" ); document.write( "
