Question 86096: milicent wants to build a fence around her flower garden, which is shaped like a right triangel, if one leg of the triangle is 6 feet long and the other is 8 feet long,how many feet of fencing will she need to finish the project? Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE HYPOTENUSE OF A RIGHT TRIANGLE IS C IN THE FORMULA A^2+B^2=C^2 WHERE A & B ARE THE OTHER TWO SIDES.
6^2+8^2=C^2
36+64=C^2
C^2=100
C=SQRT100
C=10 THE LENCTH OF THE HYPOTENUSE OR THE LENGTH OF THE REMAINING FENCE.
