Find the unknown side length in the given triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth.
one side is 20 and the other is 30, right triangle
my original answer was 36.06, which is incorrect.
To find the unknown side length in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, one side of the triangle is 20 and the other side is 30. Let's label the unknown side as "x".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation:
x^2 = 20^2 + 30^2
Simplifying further:
x^2 = 400 + 900
x^2 = 1300
To find the value of x, take the square root of both sides:
x = √1300
x ≈ 36.06
Therefore, the unknown side length is approximately 36.06.
i said i already got that answer. its incorrect
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's re-evaluate the problem.
Given a right triangle with one side measuring 20 and the other side measuring 30, we need to find the length of the unknown side.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
20^2 + 30^2 = x^2
400 + 900 = x^2
1300 = x^2
To find the square root of 1300, we can estimate using a calculator or perform long division. The square root of 1300 is approximately 36.06, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
It seems your original answer of 36.06 is actually correct for the unknown side length. If that answer is marked as incorrect, please verify if there was any specific rounding or formatting requirement given for the final answer.
To find the unknown side length in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Let's label the unknown side length as "x." From the given information, we know that one side is 20 units and the other side is 30 units. So we have two sides:
Side A = 20
Side B = 30
Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = 20^2 + 30^2
Simplifying this equation:
x^2 = 400 + 900
x^2 = 1300
To find the value of x, we take the square root of both sides:
x = sqrt(1300)
Using a calculator, we find that sqrt(1300) ≈ 36.06
Therefore, the correct answer to the nearest hundredth is 36.06. It seems that your original answer was correct.
