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

Plzz hellp :( i will mark you the brainlist if some on helps (A rectangular prism has a length of 1 1/4 yards, a width of 2 1/2

Veseljchak [2.6K]

The volume of rectangular prism is the product of its length, width and height.
So the volume V of prism with length $1 \frac{1}{4}$ yards, width $2 \frac{1}{2}$ yards and height of 4 yards will be:

$V=1 \frac{1}{4} * 2 \frac{1}{2} *4 \\ \\ 
V= \frac{5}{4}* \frac{5}{2}*4 \\ \\ 
V= \frac{25}{2} \\ \\ 
V=12 \frac{1}{2}$

Thus the volume of prism as a mixed number in simplest form will be $12 \frac{1}{2}$ cubic yards
