The diagram below shows a shaded parallelogram drawn inside a rectangle. Using Pythagoras, find the hypotenuse of triangle A and the hypotenuse of triangle B to 1 decimal place.

5.9 cm for both triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2  

c^2 = 9+25

c^2 = 34

c = √34

c = 5.9 cm

Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

idk lol xd

step-by-step explanation:

ez do it yourself lazy

yes.. it's proven to be 36.
