Answer:
AB = 23.40 cm
Solution,
Base ( BC ) = 22 cm
Perpendicular ( AC) = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (AB) = ?
Now,
Using the Pythagoras theorem:
[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = {(8)}^{2} + {(22)}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = 64 + 484[/tex]
[tex] {h}^{2} = 548[/tex]
[tex]h = \sqrt{548} [/tex]
[tex]h = 23.40 \: cm[/tex]
Hope this helps..
Good luck on your assignment...
