Possible Answers:

$10\sqrt5$

300

$10\sqrt3$

Correct answer:

$10\sqrt3$

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the missing side.

x^2+10^2=20^2

x^2+100=400

x^2=300

$x=\sqrt{300}=10\sqrt{3}$

Example Question #461 : Geometry

The base and height of a right triangle are each 1 inch. What is the hypotenuse?

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt{2}$

0.5

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

You need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is $a^{2}+b^{^{2}} = c^{^{2}}$ .

Add the first two values and you get . Take the square root of both sides and you get $\sqrt{2}$ .

Example Question #131 : Geometry

Parallelogram2

Give the perimeter of the above parallelogram if BD = 24 .

Possible Answers:

$24+24 \sqrt{3}$

$32+16\sqrt{3}$

$24+24 \sqrt{2}$

$48\sqrt{3}$

$48\sqrt{2}$

Correct answer:

$48\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

By the $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ Theorem:

$AB = CD= BD\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}= 24 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}= 8\sqrt{3}$ , and

$BC = AD = 2\cdot AB = 2 \cdot 8\sqrt{3} = 16 \sqrt{3}$

The perimeter of the parallelogram is

$AB + CD + BC + AD = 8\sqrt{3}+ 8\sqrt{3}+ 16\sqrt{3}+16\sqrt{3} = 48\sqrt{3}$

Example Question #462 : Geometry

A right triangle has legs with lengths of units and units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Possible Answers:

units

5.38 units

4.64 units

5.20 units

Correct answer:

5.38 units

Explanation:

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{\text{(leg 1)}^2+\text{(leg 2)}^2}$

Using the numbers given to us by the question,

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{2^2+5^2}=\sqrt{29}=5.38$ units
