Question 75658
1) Perpendicular = r = 8
   Hypotenuse = t = 12
   Base = s = ?
   Using Pythagoras Theorem
   (Hyp)˛= (perp)˛ + (base)˛
    Putting the values
   (12)˛ = (8)˛ + (Base)˛
   144 = 64 + Base˛
   144 - 64 = Base˛
   80 = Base˛
   After taking the square root of both the sides:
   8.94 = Base (Answer)
CHECK:
Hyp˛= Perp˛ + Base˛
(12)˛ = (8)˛ + (8.94)˛
144 = 64 + 79.9
144 = 144 


2) Perpendicular = r = 4
 Hypotenuse = t = ?
  Base = s = 6
Using Pythagoras Theorem
   (Hyp)˛= (perp)˛ + (base)˛
    Putting the values
Hyp˛ = (4)˛ + (6)˛
Hyp˛ = 16 + 36
Hyp˛ = 52
After taking the square root of both the sides:
Hyp = 7.2 (Answer)
CHECK:
 (Hyp)˛= (perp)˛ + (base)˛
 (7.2)˛ = (4)˛ + (6)˛
 52 = 16 + 36
  52 = 52
