Answer:
From the Pythagorean Theorem we know:
hypotenuse^2 = side^2 + side^2
hypotenuse^2 = 36 + 36
hypotenuse = square root (72)
hypotenuse = 8.48528... feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1.)
A. 30in^2
B. 18cm^2
C. 130yd^2
2.) The formula for the area of a triangle is half the base times the height. So 1/2 x 40 x 32 = 640cm^2
3.) 17 yards. The fence that enclose Sondra's backyard is a right triangle whose sides measuring 8 yards, 15 yards and 17 yards respectively.
4.) From the Pythagorean Theorem we know:
hypotenuse^2 = side^2 + side^2
hypotenuse^2 = 36 + 36
hypotenuse = square root (72)
hypotenuse = 8.48528... feet
5.) a. 5
b. √128
c. √221
