Ex. 3 Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 36 and 48 units long. • C2 = 362 + 482 • C2 = 1296 + 2304 • C2 = 3600 • C = 60
Ex. 5 Find the height of a pyramid whose square base measures 36 meters on each side and whose slant height is 60 meters. • AC = (½) (36) 18 • 602 = BC2 + 182 • 602 – 182 = BC2 • 3276 = BC2 • 57.24 meters
