Algebra.Com's Answer #825649 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "A rough sketch (approximately to scale).... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(1) Diagonal RT is the hypotenuse of right triangle RST. Use RS=12 and ST=16 to find RT. \n" ); document.write( "(2) RU is the hypotenuse of right triangle RTU. Use RU=35 and the value you found in (1) for RT to find UT. \n" ); document.write( "Simple use of the Pythagorean Theorem.... \n" ); document.write( "Your final answer should be UT = 5*sqrt(33) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
