Question: Find the length of the unknown side, correct to 1 decimal place where necessary.



A ) 3.9
B ) 3.6
C ) 3.8
D ) 4

Steps to derive

1 We can find the length of the unknown side of the right-angled triangle, using Pythagoras′ theorem.

2 The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
a2 = 22 + 32
 [Pythagoras′ theorem]

3 a2 = 4 + 9 = 13
 [22 = 4 and 32 = 9]

4 a = 13
 [Take square roots on both sides.]

5 Hence, a = 3.6



Hence the right answer is Option B
