Answer:
Question 16: 44 inches
Question 18: 10, 24, 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 16:
Pythagoras Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and the longest side.
125^2 = 117^2 + b^2
15,625 = 13,689 + b^2
15,625 - 13689 = b^2
1936 = b^2
√1936 = b
44 = b
Question 18:
Pythagoras Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and the longest side. You have to try all the possibilities. The ones that match are the lengths.
The answers are 10, 24, 26
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
26^2 = 10^2 + 24^2
676 = 100 + 576
676 = 676
