How to find the length of longest side in right angle triangle?
To find the lenght of longest side in right angle triangle, the Pythagoras theorem is used.
According to this theorem says that in a right angle triangle the square of hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of square of other two legs of right angle triangle.
A wire that is 22 feet long connects the top of a pole to the ground. The wire is attached to the ground at a point that is 10 feet from the base of the pole.
A right triangle with side length 10 feet, hypotenuse of 22 feet, and side of h. Thus, the length of side of h by the Pythagoras theorem can be given as,
[tex]h^2=22^2-10^2\\h=\sqrt{484-100}\\h=\sqrt{384}\\h=19.60\rm\; ft[/tex]
Thus, the height of the pole from the ground is 19.60 feet round to the nearest hundredth.
