Chapter 10.4, Problem 30PPS
To determine

Calculate missing element in a= 127 m, b=?, c=31m

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 30PPS

Value of b = 28.879 m

Explanation of Solution

Given:

a= 127 m

c=31m

Calculations:

When hypotenuse is given, it is clear that angle opposite to hypotenuse is always 900 . Therefore, we can say that a, b, c are the sides of right angle triangle. Missing element of right angle triangle can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.

As per Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse square is equal to sum of square of remaining two sides.

  Base2+Perpendicular2=Hypotenuse2a2+b2=c2 ( 127 ) 2 + b 2 = 31 2 b2=961127b2=834b=28.879m

Conclusion:

Therefore, we are able to calculate missing element of right angle triangle using Pythagoras theorem.
