Answer: BC = 5.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Luckily, the triangle is placed on the graph nicely so we can count the legs of the triangle:
AB = 5
AC = 3
BC = ?
To find BC, we can simply use the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}[/tex]
5^2 + 3^2 = c^2
25 + 9 = c^2
34 = c^2
Now square root to find c, or BC.
[tex]\sqrt{34}=\sqrt{c^{2} }[/tex]
c = 5.83 (rounded by nearest hundredth)
