Find the length of the hypotenuse if the height is 6 meters and the area is 36 meters squared?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the base of the right triangle when you know the area and the height
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ *b*6 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "6b = 72
\n" ); document.write( "b = 72/6
\n" ); document.write( "b = 12 meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "the we know the two legs of the triangle are 12 and 6, find the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "h = $\"sqrt%286%5E2+%2B+12%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "h = $\"sqrt%2836+%2B+144%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "h = $\"sqrt%28180%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "h = 13.4164 meters is the hypotenuse \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
