Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{8^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that this is a rectangle triangle, and that the ZY side is the hypotenuse.
It's length is then square root of the sum of the squares of the other sides:
[tex]hyp = \sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} }[/tex]
So, in this case:
[tex]ZY = \sqrt{8^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]
The 8 and 3 numbers are easy to get from the graphic... and the order doesn't matter (8² + 3² = 3² + 8²).
That's an easy rule to remember.
I hope it helps.
Answer:
[tex]|ZY|=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
ZY is the hypotenuse of triangle XZY.
The two shorter legs are;
YX=3 units
and
XZ=8 units.
According to the Pythagoras Theorem;
[tex]|ZY|^2=|XZ|^2+|YX|^2[/tex]
This implies that;
[tex]|ZY|^2=8^2+3^2[/tex]
We take the positive square root to obtain;
[tex]|ZY|=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}[/tex]
The second choice is correct
