Step-by-step explanation:
Data
hypotenuse = 18 cm
one leg = 14 cm
second leg = ?
Process
1.- Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem
c² = a² + b²
c = hypotenuse
a = longer leg
b= shorter leg
2.- Substitution
18² = 14² + b²
-Solve for b
b² = 18² - 14²
-Simplify
b² = 324 - 196
b² = 128
-Find the prime factors of 128
