Question

I’m a right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 12and the length of one leg is 8 . What is the length of the other leg?

Answer 1

Answer:

other leg is 8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem  is a² + b² = c²

a and b are legs

c is the hypotenuse

8² + b² = 12²

64 + b² = 144

-64          -64

        b² = 80

        √b² = √80

         b ≈ 8.94
