sides of a triangle help?

Question

okay so my sides are
b is 6 ft.
h is 7 ft.
and i need to find out the hypotenuse, its a right angle and i totally spaced on how to figure it out. can anyone please help me. no this is not a homework problem, im not even in that class anymore, i need it for something else. PLEASE

Answer 1

(Hypotenuse)^2= Base^2 + Height^2



but here if h = hypotenuse then your answer will be 7 ft itself..

but here if h is hight then use the above equation.



Hypotenuse^2 = 6^2+ 7^2

= 36+49

= square root of (85)

=9.22 ft

Answer 2

make a rough sketch of the triangle and name the sides.AC=HYPOTENUSE(SUPPOSE) AB is the height =6ft.,BC=breadth=7ft.Then AC^2=AB^2+BC^2.(According to pythogoras theorem the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the other 2 sides). So,

AC^2=6^2+7^2

AC^2=36+49

AC^2=85FT

CHANGE 85 INTO THE ROOT AND THE CUT THE SQUARE OF AC WITH THE 85.THE NUMBER SO OBTAINED IS THE ANSWER

Answer 3

(hypotenuse)^2 = sum of squares of each side

so h^2 = 6^2 + 7^2 = 36 + 49 = 85

so hypotenuse is sqrt(85) = 9.22

hypotenuse = 9.22 ft or about 9 ft 3 in

Answer 4

base squared + height squared = hyptenuse squared. so 6²+7² = 36+49 = 85. So hypotenuse is sqrt(85) = 9.22

Answer 5

simple:



use the formula l^2 = b^2+h^2 where b and h are sides and l is hypotenuse



l^2 = 36+49= 85

l = sqrt(85) ft

Answer 6

sq rt of 6^2 +7^2

sq rt of 36+49

sq rt of 85

Answer 7

Let b, h, and x be the sides of this right triangle; x being the hypotenuse, which we are looking for.



Now, the Pythagorean Theorem implies that

x² = b² + h²



Since we have b = 6 ft and h = 7 ft, then

x² = (6 ft)² + (7 ft)²



Thus,

x² = 36 ft² + 49 ft²



We add

x² = 85 ft²



Then, we get the square root of both sides, and we have the value of the hypotenuse,

Therefore,

x = √85 ft ≈ 9.219544457..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Answer 8

a squared + b squared = c squared

6 squared + 7 squared = take the square root and...



voila.

Answer 9

h=rt(36+49)=rt85'

Answer 10

it's easy...

it's: c(squared) = a(squared) + b(squared)



where:

c = hypotenuse

b = base

a = height

so the answer is: c(squared) = 85 or, 9.2195

There you go i put in the figure. You'll have to use the Pythagorus' Theorm. According to that : c*c=b*b+h*h

ie c=sqrt(b*b+h*h)

ie c=sqrt(6*6+7*7)

ie c=sqrt(36+47)

ie c=sqrt(85)

ie c=9.219544457....



Hope that helps.

Answer 12

hyp = sqroot (h sq + b sq)
