Missing Sides Classnotes

Find the missing hypotenuse in the right triangle with legs 24 cm and 7 cm.

• The missing hypotenuse is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

• The missing hypotenuse is 25 cm.

• The missing hypotenuse is 26 cm.

• The missing hypotenuse is 30 cm.

Find the missing hypotenuse in the right triangle with legs 7 ft and 12 ft.

• The missing hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). Therefore, c = √(a² + b²). In this case, a = 7 ft and b = 12 ft.

• c = √(7² + 12²) = √(49 + 144) = √193 ft.

• c = √(7² + 12²) = √(49 + 144) = √200 ft.

• c = √(7² + 12²) = √(49 + 144) = √185 ft.

Find the missing hypotenuse in the right triangle with legs 2 in and 5 in.

• The missing hypotenuse is √29 or ~5.38

• The missing hypotenuse is 7 in, calculated by adding the lengths of the two legs.

• The missing hypotenuse is 3 in, calculated by subtracting the shorter leg from the longer leg.

• The missing hypotenuse is 10 in, calculated by multiplying the lengths of the two legs.
