Important

#

I really need help

#

I haven't learned this Yet

modest flicker Important

have you learn Pythagoras theorem?

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

the a square?

final thorn Feb 1, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

a² + b² = c²

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

oh yeah ik that

final thorn Feb 1, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

since it's a kite, the diagonals intersects at right angles

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

ok ok

final thorn Feb 1, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

so triangle QTR is a right-angled triangle

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:35 AM

#

ok im on that

final thorn Feb 1, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

RT² + 36² = 85²
find RT

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

how in the world do i do that without R or T

#

again i have never learned this its a new unit

#

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

#

RQ, QT and RT are all sides of the triangle

#

the side RQ is 85 units

#

the side QT is 36 units

modest flicker Feb 1, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

ok

#

got u

#

i add those after i put them to the second?

hallow knoll Feb 1, 2023, 4:19 AM

#

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

#

c is the longest side

#

a and b are the 2 shorter sides

#

the 2 shorter sides added equal the 3rd side

#

the longest side is called the hypotenuse

#

it's opposite to the right angle

#

in this question we have RQ^2 = RT^2 + QT^2

#

85^2 = 36^2 + RT^2

#

we need to find the unknown side RT

#

rearrange the equation so that you make RT the subject of the equation

#

RT^2 = 85^2 - 36^2
