a triangle has sides of 4 and 6 units. The measurement of the longest side is missing.Ted says that one possibility for the unknown side length is 11, Do you agree with ted

Respuesta :

This is called the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
Basically, the sum of one side squared + the side of another side squared = the length of the longest side (or hypotenuse).

We have to do the following math:
4 * 4 = 16
6 * 6 = 36
16 + 36 = 52.

We know that 52 = c^2
So we have to [tex] \sqrt{c} [/tex] to get 7.21

You do not agree with Ted.
