ABC is a right triangle. If AB= 3 and AC= 7, find BC. Leave your answer in the simplest radical form.
1.) 2√13
2.) √58
3.) 4√3
4.) 2√3

Respuesta :

  • AB=3
  • AC=7

Using Pythagorean theorem

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto BC^2=AB^2+AC^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto BC^2=7^2+3^2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto BC^2=49+9[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto BC^2=58[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto BC=\sqrt{58}[/tex]
