Answer:
20.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 +12^2 = 24^2
x^2 = 576 -144 = 432
x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm
The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
If it's laptop pres shift nd the key that show ÷ at the same time
0.02% would be of choosing a blue and a yellow card because there 16 cards so you are only choosing two cards
After careful consideration i think I have an answer...
So if you notice, These two triangles are a reflection of each other.
Now even though these two triangles equal one another, we still have to consider the fact that they are different. (one side is the opposite of another)
So lets just name all the sides that equal each other.
∠N = ∠Q
NO = QS
QR = NP
PO = SR
∠S = ∠O
∠P = ∠R
(by the way i'm going to be saying {the reflective side} every time i want to refer to the side with the two lines :P) - so bare with me.
So therefore this would mean that ∠P = ∠S would be false, since one angle is from the side that is reflected and the other isn't. Makes sense?
So lets look over at the answers...
A.) PN = SQ
For this answer choice, PN is on the non reflective side, while SQ is on the reflective side. Soooo... This answer choice is wrong.
B.) NO = QR
NO is part of the unreflective side, while QR is part of the reflective side.
Therefore this answer is wrong. They must be part of the same side.
C.) ∠P = ∠S
∠P is on the unreflective side, while angle ∠S is on the reflective side.
There fore this answer is also wrong.
D.) ∠O = ∠S
Now ∠O is on the reflective side while ∠S is on the reflective as well.
There fore this answer is correct .
YOUR ANSWER IS.
D.) ∠O = ∠S
