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 should be added to both sides of this equation to solve for the variable a plus 98 -2?
96
How do you solve 5x equals 25?
5x = 25Divide both sides by 5:x = 5
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.
