Question

Please help !! Geometry homework. Will mark brainliest answer !

Answer 1

Answer: 375

Step-by-step explanation: If the problem was pythagorean theorem. Then I hope this explantion will help.

5 squared and 20 squared. 5 squared would get you 25 and 20 squared should get you 400. Then you should take 400-25=375. Your answer therefore is 375

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

The Pythagorean theorem states that:

$a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 = c ^ 2$

Where:

a: Base of the triangle

b: It is the height of the triangle

c: It is the hypotenuse of the triangle

We have the following information:

$a = 5\\c = 20$

We must clear b:

$b ^ 2 = c ^ 2-a ^ 2$

$b=\sqrt{(20^2)-(5^2)}\\b=\sqrt{(400-25)}\\b=\sqrt{375}$

Simplifying the root we have:

$b=\sqrt{(25*15)}\\b=5\sqrt{15}$

Thus, the height of the triangle is given by:

$b = 5\sqrt{15}$

Answer:

$AB = 5\sqrt{15}$
