Answer:
1. 10
2. 12
3. Sqrt 130
4. Sqrt 45
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] where a and b are the legs with a being the smallest and c is the hypotenuse.
1. a=6, b=8, c=?
[tex]6^2+8^2=c^2\\36+64=c^2\\100=c^2\\10=c[/tex]
2. a=5, b=?, c=13
[tex]5^2+b^2=13^2\\25+b^2=169\\169-25=b^2\\144=b^2\\12=b[/tex]
3. a=7, b=9, c=?
[tex]7^2+9^2=c^2\\49+81=c^2\\130=c^2\\\sqrt{130}=c[/tex]
4. a=2, b=?, c=7
[tex]2^2+b^2=7^2\\4+b^2=49\\49-4=b^2\\45=b^2\\\sqrt{45}=b[/tex]
