How do you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length on a right triangle?
1) Write down the equation for the theorem. 2) Replace the sides you know. 3) Solve the resulting equation for the third side.
How do you find the missing length of a right angle triangle?
You use the law of Pythagoras: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and be are the sides adjacent to the right angle, and c is the side opposite. Replace the two sides that you know, and solve for the third one. Pythagoras: hypotenuse squared = sum of squares of other two sides. If you know two of the sides you can calculate the third as above.
What is fourteen more than three times a number is 2?
20. Because 3x2= 6 and 6+14= 20. duh!!! I know I am a genius!!! --Alternate solution (if the other answer did not answer the right question)-- I think the question can be represented by the equation 14 + 3n = 2, where n= some number that you are trying to solve for. To solve this problem is simple algebraic manipulation. Subtract 14 from both sides to get 3n= -12. Then, divide both sides by 3. The answer is n= -4. So, the missing number was -4.
How do you solve 5x equals 25?
5x = 25Divide both sides by 5:x = 5
What should be added to both sides of this equation to solve for the variable a plus 98 -2?
96
How can I use what i know about similar figures to solve problems?
Use the fact that the ratios of corresponding sides is the same, and also that corresponding angles have the same measure.
How do you solve your math problems dealing with similar figures?
Any two corresponding sides in two similar figures have a common ratio called the scale factor. Since the figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides of the figures are equal. 1. Match a side of both figures, 2. write the proportions 3. substitute the values 4. Write the cross product 5. Divide both sides by a common factor 6. simplify 7. Convert improper fraction into mixed number
What do you do to find missing sides are known?
Form an equation and solve it

How do you solve a diamond problem if they only give you the top and bottom?
The answer depends on what the problem is: are you required to find the lengths of the missing sides, the area, angles, length of diagonal, or WHAT!

How can you solve the shape puzzle in Ao Oni?
You can solve the shape puzzle in Ao Oni by finding the missing die. The missing die is in the second floor of the old building.
How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have two side length?
You use the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2. Variables a and b are the shorter sides; c is the hypotenuse. Just plug the values for the sides into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.
How do you solve radical equations with variables on both sides?
First, get the radical by itself. Then, square both sides of the equation. Then just solve the rest.
