Pythagorean Theorem Questions

1.  Solve for x, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cm, where x is the hypotenuse and the lengths of the other two sides of a right-angled triangle are 13 cm and 16 cm.

2.   Solve for x, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cm, where the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 15 cm, one of the other sides is 11 cm, and the unknown third side length is x.

Cosine Law

1.   In Triangle GHI, solve for h , rounded to the nearest tenth of a cm, where g=19 cm, i= 14 cm, and H=111 degrees.

2.   In Triangle MNP, solve for P to the nearest tenth of a degree, where M = 12 cm, N = 13 cm, and P = 14 cm.  

A tutorial on the Cosine Law, as well as the answers to both of these questions, can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcK2QSDU01w&list=UUm-Z_cRxySqM3GkXMKmDPUg&index=1&feature=plcp.  (The solution on the video uses the variable x within the solution, but it is not necessary to introduce this new variable).
