The length of the two legs of a right triangle are and . What is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse?
::右三角形两腿的长度是25和34 三角形的下限长度是多少?Simplifying Square Roots
::简化平方根Before we can solve a quadratic equation using square roots, we need to review how to simplify , add, subtract, and multiply them. Recall that the square root is a number that, when multiplied by itself, produces another number. 4 is the square root of 16, for example. -4 is also the square root of 16 because . The symbol for square root is the radical sign, or . The number under the radical is called the radicand . If the square root of an integer is not another integer, it is an irrational number .
::在我们用正方根解决二次方程之前, 我们需要审查如何简化、 添加、 减、 乘。 回顾正方根是一个数字, 当它本身乘以后, 就会产生另一个数字。 例如 。 4 是 16 的平方根。 4 也是 16 的平方根, 因为 (- 4) 2=16 。 平方根的符号是 激进符号 , 或者 。 基底下的数字叫做 radicand 。 如果整数的平方根不是另一个整数, 它是一个不合理的数字 。Let's find .

using a calculator.
::使用计算器。
To plug the square root into your graphing calculator, typically there is a or SQRT button. Depending on your model, you may have to enter 50 before or after the square root button. Either way, your answer should be In general, we will round to the hundredths place, so 7.07 is sufficient.
::要将平方根插入您的图形计算器, 通常需要一个或 SQRT 按钮。 取决于您的模型, 您可能需要在平方根按钮之前或之后输入50 个。 无论哪种方式, 您的回答应该是 50= 7. 071067811865 。 一般来说, 我们将四舍五入到第一百个位置, 所以 7. 07 就足够了 。-
by simplifying the square root.
::通过简化平方根。
To simplify the square root, the square numbers must be “pulled out.” Look for factors of 50 that are square numbers: 4, 9, 16, 25... 25 is a factor of 50, so break the factors apart.
::为了简化平方根,平方数字必须“拉出来 ” 。 寻找正方数字的50个因素:4,9,16,25... 25是50个因素,所以打破因素。. This is the most accurate answer.
::50=252=252=52 这是最准确的答案Radical Rules
::激进激进规则1. Any two radicals can be multiplied together.
::1. ab=ab=ab2. The radicands must be the same in order to add or subtract.
::2. Xaya=xya 弧度必须相同才能增减。3. The square and square root cancel each other out.
::3. (a)2=a2=a 平方根和平方根相互勾销。Now, let's simplify the following expressions.
::现在,让我们简化以下表达式。At first glance, it does not look like we can simplify this. But, we can simplify each radical by pulling out the perfect squares.
::乍一看,我们似乎无法简化这一点。 但是,我们可以通过拉出完美的方形来简化每个激进的方形。Rewriting our expression, we have: and all the radicands are the same. Using the Order of Operations, our answer is .
::重写我们的表达方式,我们有:35+45-25,所有射线都是相同的。使用行动命令,我们的答复是55。Multiply across.
::乘以横跨。Now, simplify the radical.
::现在,简化底线8245=8495=875=565Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Earlier, you were asked to find the length of the triangle's hypotenuse.
::早些时候,有人要求你 找到三角形的下垂长度We must use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of one leg of a right triangle plus the square of the other leg equals the square of the hypotenuse.
::我们必须使用Pythagorean Theorem, 它说右三角的一条腿加上另一条腿的正方形等于下方的正方形。So we are looking for c such that .
::因此,我们正在寻找(25)2+(34)2=c2的c。Simplifying, we get , or .
::简化后,我们得到 45+94=c2,或20+36=c2。Therefore, , so to find c , we must take the square root of 56.
::因此,C2=56,为了找到C, 我们必须以56为平方根。.
Therefore, .
::因此,C=214。Example 2
::例2Simplify the following radical.
::简化以下激进主义。Pull out all the square numbers.
::把所有的平方数字都拿出来Alternate Method : Write out the of 150.
::替代方法:写出150个。Now, pull out any number that has a pair. Write it once in front of the radical and multiply together what is left over under the radical.
::现在,拉出任何有一对的号码。 在激进分子面前写一次, 并把在激进分子之下留下的东西一起乘在一起。Example 3
::例3Simplify the following radical.
::简化以下激进主义。Simplify to see if anything can be combined. We will use the alternate method above.
::简化 96 , 以确定是否有东西可以合并。 我们将使用上面的替代方法 。Rewrite the expression: . This is fully simplified. and cannot be combined because they do not have the same value under the radical.
::重写表达式: 23-6+46=23+36。 完全简化 。 3 和 6 不能合并, 因为它们在基底下没有相同的值 。Example 4
::例4Simplify the following radical.
::简化以下激进主义。This problem can be done two different ways.
::这一问题可以采取两种不同的方式。First Method : Multiply radicals, then simplify the answer.
::第一种方法:乘以基,然后简化答案。Second Method : Simplify radicals, then multiply.
::第二种方法: 简化基体, 然后乘以 。Depending on the complexity of the problem, either method will work. Pick whichever method you prefer.
::视问题的复杂性而定,两种方法都有效。选择你喜欢哪种方法。Review
