The longest side in a right triangle is 24 cm, and the second longest side is 20 cm. Find the length of the shortest side.

13.27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is always the longest side so:

a^2 + 20^2 = 24^2

a^2 + 400 = 576

a^2 = 176

a = 13.27

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

step-by-step explanation:

10 down (bang1)

5 up

5down (2)

2.5 up

2.5 down (3)

1.25 up

1.25 down (4)

now add them up : )
