Question

D( Geese fly in V formation. The V forms a right angle that has 16 geese on 1 side and 12 geese on the other side. How many gesse would fill in the gap between the ends of each sides of the V formation?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 will fly in the missing side.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 90^o angle.

heres the formula for side c:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

So,

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

square root of 400 = c

c = 20

So, 20 will fly in the missing gap of the V formation.
