Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length and
then round the result to the nearest tenth.
a = 12, b = 12, C =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 12√2. or 16.968.

hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Since both a & b have the same measurements, the triangle is a right angled isosceles triangle (we use pythagorean theorem only for right angled triangles). So, C is obviously the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side).

According to the pythagorean theorem,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²

C² = A² + B²

C² = 12² + 12²

C² = 144 + 144

C² = 288

C = √288

C = 16.975

C = 17 (approx.)
