Question 394160: In the right triangle ABC , C is the hypotenuse and A and B is the length of the legs.
(a) . If A=12 , B= 16 then c=?
(b) if A=24 , B=? and c=25
(c) if a=1 b=2 c=?
(d) if a=18 b=? c=20? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
Note; Pythagorean Theorem and calculator make short work of this exercise
where ABC is rt Δ with length of hypotenuse C and A and B are the lengths of the legs
A^2 + B^2 = C^2 OR B^2 = C^2 - A^2
(a)If A=12 , B= 16 then c =
(c) if a=1 b=2 c=
(b) if A=24 , B=? and C=25 B =
(d) if a=18 b=? c=20 b =
Will leave using Your calculator up to You.
(operations under the radical sign need to be done prior to taking the sqrt)
