A right triangle has legs with lengths 20 cm and 21 cm.What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse of the given right-angled triangle is 29 cm.

What is the hypotenuse?

The longest side of a right-angled triangle, i.e. the side opposite the right angle, is called the hypotenuse in geometry.

Pythagorean theorem :

If p be the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, q and r be the lengths of the other two sides, then

p² = q² + r²

How to solve this problem?

Here, the lengths of the other two sides of the given right-angled triangle are 20 cm and 21 cm. Put these values in the above theorem to get the desired result.

Now, p² = (20)² + (21)²

             = 400 + 441

             = 841

i.e. p = √(841)

         = 29

Therefore the length of the hypotenuse is 29 cm.

Answer 2
Answer: c²=a²+b²
c²=20²+21²=400+441=841
c²=841
c=√841
c=29
Answer: 29 cm

An equilateral triangle has an apothem of 5 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest centimeter.

Answers

The apothem is the distance from the center to the midpoint of one of the sides of a regular polygon.  You can make a right triangle with the apothem, the line from the midpoint to the corner and the line from the center to the corner.  An equilateral triangle has 60 degree angles (180/3).  The right triangle has half of one of those angles so 30 degrees.  Now we have a 30-60-90 triangle where the short leg is 5cm.  The long leg, which is also half of one side of the triangle is thus 5√(3).  A whole side of the triangle is 10√(3).  Multiply that by 3 to get the perimeter of 30√(3).

What's the length of side b in the figure below? I posted a picture so you can view the actual problem. Please help.

Answers

the answer would be letter c because you have to use orders of operations io on aka A^2+B^2=C^2
how to set it up woulf look like this: a^2= 7^2
B^2=?, and C^2=13^2
in other words a=7squared
B=?
and C=13 squared
so the problem would end up like this:.7*7+B*2=13*13
49+B*2=169
so now you subtract 169 from 49 and that equals B*2=√120

we know that

in the right triangle of the figure

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

13^(2) =b^(2) +7^(2) \n b^(2) =13^(2)-7^(2)\n b^(2)=120\n b=√(120) \ cm

therefore

the answer is the option

C) b=√(120) \ centimeters
