Question

Side c is the hypotenuse. Sides a and b are the legs. 6. b = 6 yd, c = 4 yd. Find the missing side.

Answer 1

Answer:

2.6666

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse is c^2 so you square 4 to get 16 and then you divide it by 6 to 2.666 so that is the answer for the other leg

Answer 2

The missing side is 3.87

What is Pythagoras theorem ?

"Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle,  the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“. The sides of this triangle have been named Perpendicular, Base and Hypotenuse. Here, the hypotenuse is the longest side, as it is opposite to the angle 90°. The sides of a right triangle (say a, b and c) which have positive integer values, when squared, are put into an equation, also called a Pythagorean triple."

Given,

b = 1 yd

c = 4 yd

Using Pythagoras theorem,

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

$4^2 = a^2 + 1^2$

16 = a^2 + 1

a^2 = 15

a = 3.87

Hence the missing side = 3.87 yd
