Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle if one of its legs is 11 cm long and its perimeter is 132 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.)

132 cm - 11 cm = 121 cm

So let the hypotenuse be x and the other leg be (121 - x).

11^2 + (121 - x)^2 = x^2

121 + 121^2 - 121(2)x = 0

x = 1/2 + 121/2 = 61 cm
