Consider triangle GHJ What is the length of line segment HJ A 5 units B 5 sq root 3 units C 10 D 10 sq root 3 units class=

Respuesta :

5 with square root 3 

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

[tex]JG^{2} =HJ^{2}+HG^{2}[/tex]

solve for HJ

[tex]HJ^{2}=JG^{2}-HG^{2}[/tex]

in this problem we have

[tex]JG=10\ units\\ HG= 5\ units[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula above

[tex]HJ^{2}=10^{2}-5^{2}[/tex]

[tex]HJ^{2}=100-25[/tex]

[tex]HJ^{2}=75[/tex]

[tex]HJ=\sqrt{75}=5\sqrt{3} \ units[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

B. 5 sq. root 3 units
