Question

please help me! ( pythagorean theorem)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the missing side is √65

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 7^2 = c^2

16 + 49 = c^2

65 = c^2

√65 = √c^2

√65 = c

Answer 2

you’re going to have to find the PT of the smaller triangle first , a2=b2+c2

4 squared = 2 squared + c
16= 4+ c
c squared =12
c=3.464

now that you’ve found c , u have to move on to the bigger triangle

a squared= 7 squared + 3.464 squared
a squared= 49+ 12
a squared = 61
a= 7.8

i hope this helped
