Problema Solution
Find the length of the third side of the right triangle.
8ft, 15ft, and the base is c feet. c = how many feet?
Answer provided by our tutors
By using Pythagorous theorem
Given
a=15t
b=8ft
a^2=b^2+c^2
putting values we get
15^2=8^2+c^2
15^2-8^2=c^2
225-64=c^2
161=c^2
taking square root on both sides we get
912.7=c
so c=12.7ft
which is the desired result
