You can use c^2 = a^2 + b^2 to solve for the length of the other leg. Just substitute the values to the variable then transpose to get the value of the missing variable.

Given: a = 13; c = 21
Required: b - other leg
Solution:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
21^2 = 13^2 + b^2
441 = 169 + b^2
b^2 = 272
√b = 16.49
b = 16.49 cm

For a Right Angled Triangle, according to the Pythagoras Theorem, the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of its two legs.

One leg is 13cm long, hypotenuse is 21cm long. Let the other leg be x cm. So, we can write:

$21^{2} =13^{2} + x^{2} \\ \\ 
272= x^{2} \\ \\ 
x= \sqrt{272} \\ \\ 
x=16.49$

Rounding of to nearest hundredth, the length of other leg of the Triangle is 16.49

Hello!

This is a problem about the general solution of a differential equation.

What we can first do here is separate the variables so that we have the same variable for each side (ex. $dy$ with the $y$ term and $dx$ with the $x$ term).

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x-1}{3y^2}$

$3y^2dy=x-1dx$

Then, we can integrate using the power rule to get rid of the differentiating terms, remember to add the constant of integration, C, to at least one side of the resulting equation.

$y^3=\frac{1}{2}x^2-x+C$
