Question

A

Answer 1

The other leg is 12cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Hypotenuse = c = 15cm

One leg = a = 9cm

Other leg = b

As the triangle is right angled, therefore, using Pythagoras theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(9)^2+b^2=(15)^2\\81+b^2=225\\b^2=225-81\\b^2=144$

Taking square root on both sides;

$\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{144} \\b=12\ cm$

The other leg is 12cm long.
