Find the missing length, round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
There is a picture it shows a right triangle with side a being 14 and side b being 9 side c is ? I dont understand please help.
A 4.5
B5
C 10.7*
D 11
Rounded should be 11
Eleven is correct
What is the length of ? Round to the nearest tenth.
Does anyone know the answer
what is the answer
To find the missing length of the right triangle, you can use Pythagoras' theorem. Pythagoras' theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (side c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, side a is 14 and side b is 9. So you can calculate it as follows:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 14^2 + 9^2
c^2 = 196 + 81
c^2 = 277
To find the value of c, you take the square root of both sides:
c = √277
Now, round this value to the nearest tenth:
c ≈ 16.64
Therefore, the missing length, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 16.6. However, none of the given answer choices match this value.
Based on the given options, "C" is the closest answer, which is 10.7.
since all of the answers are less than 14 , a must be the hypotenuse
c^2 = a^2 - b^2
you're a good guesser
