## chaseep Group Title what is the length of leg S of the triangle below (can someone please solve this) one year ago one year ago

2. Decart Group Title

$a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}$

Use the pythagorean formula which states the sum of each side squared is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Do you know which side is the hypotenuse?

4. chaseep Group Title

no i dont :( nidnt know how to solve it

5. radar Group Title

The longest side is the hypotenuse, it is also the side that is opposite the right (90 degree) angle.

6. radar Group Title

In your triangle it is the one that is given a measure of $\sqrt{18}$

7. radar Group Title

Do you want to solve this problem?

8. chaseep Group Title

okay !

9. radar Group Title

What is the hypotenuse squared? In other words what is:$\sqrt{18}\sqrt{18}$

10. radar Group Title

Next square the side that is given (3). that is what is 3*3 ? That would be 9.

11. radar Group Title

Waiting for the $\sqrt{18}\sqrt{18}= ????$

12. radar Group Title

$\sqrt{18-9}=\sqrt{9}=3$ A A A A A
