For a right triangle. if the legs are length a and b and hypotonse is c then
a²+b²=c²

given
a lig is 12
hypotonse is 37

a=12
c=37

12²+b²=37²
144+b²=1369
minus 144 both sides
b^2=1225
sqrt both sides
b=35


the other leg is 35 mm

Answer: The lenght of the other leg is 35 milimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply Pythagorean Theorem. It states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other legs.

Mathematically speaking:

c ² = a ² + b²

Where: c= hypotenuse  

a and b = the other legs

Replacing with the values given:

37² = 12² + b ²

Solving:

37² - 12 ² = b²

1,369 -144 =b²

1,225 =b²

√1,225 =b

35= b

In conclusion, the correct option is 35 millimeters.

Can anybody help me please I'm stuck with this question.

Answer: 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:since its is a horizontal line x2 - x1

7 -1 = 6

line 2:

since this is a vertical line y2 - y1

7 - 3 = 4

line 3:

since this is a horizontal line x2 - x1

7 - 4 = 3

line 4:

for this we need to use the distance formula which allows us to find the distance making a third point to form a right angle triangle

point 1: (1,3)

point 2: (4,7)

point 3 (new point) : (4,3)

now we can apply the pythogorean thereum (C squared = B squared + A squared) with the following lines.

line 1: (1,3) - (4,7)

line 2: (1,3) - (4,3)

line 3: (4,3) - (4,7)

line 1 squared = line2 squared + line 3 squared

calculate length of line 2 and 3

line 1 squared = (4 - 1) squared + (7 - 3) squared

line 1 squared = 3 squared + 4 squared

line 1 squared = 9 + 16

line 1 squared = 25

root both sides

line 1 = 5

add all the liens together

6 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 18

10% of 65 pls help and explain the steps to get total answer​
sergij07 [2.7K]
10% of 65
Of means multiply
=0.1 x 65
=6.5

Or you can use another way which is (part/whole) *(percent/100)

Whole=65
Percent=10
And part(part of 65)=unknown

(X/65)* (10/100)
Cross multiply
x= 6.5

So 10% of 65 is 6.5
