Find the height of right-angle triangle. Adjacent = 44.5 mm

Question

Volume = 170cm2
Hypotenuse  = 70mm

Answer 1

problem=rite triangel

????????? volume ????????? sins yu sae cm^2, must be AREA

???????? "adjaesent" ????????...yu must meen the NEER side

(as opposed tu the FAR side)

input...long side=70,   area=170

1. area=(1/2) base*hite=170, so base*hite=2*area=340

  or hite=340/base

2. base^2+hite^2=long^2=70*70=4900

base*base +(340/base)^2=4900

base^2 + (115,600/base^2)=4900

base^4 -4900 base^2 +115600=0

let base^2=x & yu hav...x^2 -4900x +115600=0

quadratik equashun giv x=23.7065305 or 4876.2934695

tri base=root(23.7065305)=4.868935253

or root(4876.2934695)=69.83046226

Thus, won side=4.868936 (base or hite) & other side=69.83046226
