One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and the other leg measures 13 cm find the measure of the hypotenuse if necessary round the nearest 10th

17.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 12 cm and the other leg measures 13 cm find the measure of the hypotenuse if necessary round the nearest 10th

To find the Hypotenuse of a right angle triangle, we solve using Pythagoras Theorem

Hypotenuse ² = Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = √Opposite ² + Adjacent ²

Opposite = 12 cm

Adjacent = 13 cm

Hence,

Hypotenuse = √12² + 13²

= √144 + 169

= 17.691806013 cm

Approximately = 17.7 cm

Therefore, the measure of the Hypotenuse is 17.7 cm

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
