8 0

Answer:

The answer is B. 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a right triangle

AB and BC are the legs and AC is the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 can be manipulated to solve for a and get 12.

A right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 12, and one side length of 9. find the missing side length. do the side lengths form

Rina8888 [55]

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

$9^2+b^2=12^2$

$81+b^2=144$ <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

$b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}$

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

$a^2+b^2=c^2$ .

$b=3\sqrt{7}$ is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>
