Answer: 20 cm

To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
**The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.**

Substitute in the values.
a² + b² = c²
12² + 16² = c²

Solve for c, the hypotenuse.
12² + 16² = c²
144 + 256 = c²
400 = c²
c = √400
c = 20

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

given the triangle is right triangle

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

40^2 = 24^2 + b^2

1600 = 576 + b^2

b^2 = 1024

b = 32

<u>The commutative property is when you can change the order and it will be the same answer.</u>

<u>6 + 8 + 7 = 7 + 8 + 6</u> would be your answer.
