Finding The Hypotenuse and the Leg of a Triangle


Todays Math was crazy! Mr.Oldcorn ripped out everyones homework and recycled it because it was wrong! We did the questions all over again! The reason why people aren't getting things is because they think 12 squared is 12X2, well it's not. 12 squared is 12X12. After Mr.O explained, the class was starting to understand. There are three ways to find the leg of the triangle. I'll show the way I like it. Oh ya 2=squared
A2 + B2 = C2
72 + B2 = 252
49 + B2 = 625
-49 - 49
72 = 576
B = 24cm
Remember to do your homework. Do to end of page 110 #10.

  2. Good stuff R, but remember to also add what the topic of the post is in the label area. For this post it might be something like review for the test...or hypotenuse/leg length...or Pythagorean theorem...
