Cade and Tyce both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. The legs are labeled 6 and 9. A right angle is labeled in between them. Cade's Work Tyce's Work a2 + b2 = c2 a2 + b2 = c2 62 + b2 = 92 62 + 92 = c2 36 + b2 = 81 36 + 81 = c2 b2 = 45 117 = c2 Square root b squared equals square root 45. Square root 117 equals c squared. b ≈ 6.71 cades answer 10.82 ≈ c tyce answer Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two legs of the right triangle are 6 and 9. We can find its third side as follows :

The above is called Pythagoras theorem and it is applicable for a right angled triangle.

a,b and c are base, perpendicular and hypotenuse respectively

c is the third side

So,

Hence, Cade and Tyce both are correct. The length of the missing side is 10.82

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
