The square's diagonal is the triangle's hypotenuse.
the original Pythagorean theorem is
where
a and
b are the two sides and
c is the hypotenuse.
that means the Pythagorean theorem for this question is:
or
3.2x1000=3200
And that's your answer: 3200
Hope this helps :)
Answer: The length of the base of the triangle is 16 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula
Area of a triangle (A) = base x height x 1/2
Replacing with the values given:
42 = b (5 1/4) 1/2
Solving for b (lenght of the base)
42 / (5 1/4) 1/2 = b
16 in = b
The length of the base of the triangle is 16 inches.
