Sagot :

Type 1

this is a right triangle, the we can apply pythagoras

[tex]a^2+b^2=h^2[/tex]

where a and b are sides and h the hypotenuse on this case L(leash)

replacing

[tex]5^2+7^2=L^2[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\begin{gathered} 25+49=L^2 \\ 74=L^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

now solve for L

[tex]L=\sqrt[]{74}\approx8.6[/tex]

The leash is 8.6ft

Type 2

we have a right triangle too

on this case the missing number is a side, not hypotenuse

remember pythagoras

[tex]a^2+b^2=h^2[/tex]

and replace for this case

[tex]x^2+19.5^2=20^2[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+380.25=400 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

and solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=19.75 \\ x=\sqrt[]{19.75}\approx4.44 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

then le length of the side x is 4.44ft
