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.

because town y is between town x and town z so you can take the distance between town x and town z and subtract the distance from town y to town z

On the children's baseball field shown, the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 50 feet. The distance from the pi
nikdorinn [45]
The Pythagorean theorem is with right triangles. You know that a right triangle is formed from first to the mound to home-plate. So when you draw it out and label the sides you have one missing side. the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = C^2. the c side is always the slanted side. In this case the c side would be from homeplate to first base. So you just have to solve now. (33)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2. So  1089 + 2500 = c^2. Add together and you get: 3589 = c^2. Lastly take the square-root of 3589 and that is the answer. 59.9. So the answer is 59.9 feet.
