Answer:

For the other leg = 1 unit, the hypotenuse will be = \sqrt{5} units.

For the other leg = 2 unit, the hypotenuse will be = 2\sqrt{2} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has one leg with a length of 2 units.

Now we have to give examples of the possible length of the other leg and the hypotenuse.

The length of the other leg does not depend on the given leg length of 2 units.

So, it maybe 1 unit or 2 units or any value.

If the other leg is 1 unit, then the length of the hypotenuse will be (Applying Pythagoras Theorem) = \sqrt{2^{2} + 1^{2}} = \sqrt{5} units.

If the other leg is 2 units, then the length of the hypotenuse will be = \sqrt{2^{2} + 2^{2}} = 2\sqrt{2} units.

And hence, we will get a distinct length of hypotenuse for each length of the other leg. (Answer)

How does the value of b affect the graph of the equation?
slamgirl [31]
Hey there!
B in a slope intercept form equation is the the y intercept. It dictates where the line will cross the y axis, and therefore the line's placement altogether. This is because if there was no y intercept, the line would only be shaped by the slope, and would start at 0.
Hope this helped!
