Answer:
3.
equation = [tex]\sqrt{7^2 + 12^2 } = c[/tex]
Using:
[tex]\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 } = c[/tex] or [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex] or
7^2 + 12^2 = c^2
49 + 144 = c^2
c^2 = 193
missing length = 13.9 inches
4. equation = [tex]\sqrt{24^2 + 32^2} = c[/tex]
Using:
[tex]\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 } = c[/tex] or [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
24^2 + 32^2 = c^2
reduce to:
8 multiplied by everything:
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
Since we know 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple, we can use this to find c.
Since c must be 5, we multiply by 8 since we divided by 8 earlier to get the 3,4,5 and get 40.
missing length = 40 inches
