The value of k to the nearest tenth in the diagram below is 5.8
What is Pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a triangle is equivalent to the sum of the square of other two sides.
Since a right triangle has 3 sides, hence the sides can be a, b and c
where
- c is the hypotenuse
- a and b are other two sides
Given the following parameters
c = k
a = 3
b = 5
According to the theorem
c² = a² + b²
k² = 3² + 5²
k² =9 + 25
k = √34
k = 5.8
Hence the value of k to the nearest tenth in the diagram below is 5.8
