Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 6 ft and one leg of length 2 ft.

Answer 1

It is C , 4 root 2

If you already have the hypotenuse you can use the equation A^2 - B^2 = C^2
So 36-4 = 32
Square root of 32 is 4 root 2 if simplifying through Surds.

Answer 2

Answer:

The other leg is 24 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

49+x2=625. x2=576. x=±24→ Eliminate the -24 answer choice; a side length cannot be negative.
