If one leg of a right triangle has length 21 and the hypotenuse has length 53, what is the length of the other leg?

1 answer:

5 0

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

c = hypotenuse (which means) = 53

a and b are equal to the side length
So a = 21.

Use the formula and solve.
21² + b² = 53²
441 + b² = 2809
b² = 2368
b = 48.66210024238575 or 8√37

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression $\sqrt{10} * \sqrt{10}$ . To find the product of this two values, the following steps must be followed.

According to one of the law of indices, $\sqrt{a} = a^{\frac{1}{2} }$

$\sqrt{10} * \sqrt{10}\\= 10^{\frac{1}{2} }* 10^{\frac{1}{2} }\\= 10^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}\\ = 10^{1} \\= 10$

The product is 10
