Always ask do I have both legs of a right triangle.If so, we add to get the hypotenuse. Use a2 + b2 = c2 and then find the square root of c2 or a2 + b2 = c by taking the square root first. Or do we have a hypotenuse and one leg? Then we need to subtract. Use c2 - a2 = b2 and then find the square root of b2 or c2 - a2 = b by taking the square root first. 1) Find the missing side. Hint: We have both legs. Please find the hypotenuse or longest side. cm. 2) Find the missing side. m. 3) Find the missing side. yd. 4) Find the missing side. yd. 5) Find the missing side. km. State if the three side lengths form a right triangle.
6) 5 in. 12 in. 13 in. no yes State if the three side lengths form a right triangle.
7) 9 in., 12 in., 15 in. no yes State if the three side lengths form a right triangle.
8) 9 cm., 12 cm., 16 cm. no yes State if the three side lengths form a right triangle.
9) 6 mi., 12 mi., 15 mi. no yes 10) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth. x x = |
