Also like to know the formula for determining the length. thanks! This is a real life scenario.
Gary B. Answer by orca(409) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We are required to solve a right triangle. So apply the Pythagorean Theorem to it.
The theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two legs a aand b is equal to the square of the hypotenuse c. Or
Here we are given
One leg = 36
Another leg = 84
We are required to find the length of the hypotenuse
According to the Theorem,
=
=
So
c =
= 91
