Question

One leg of a triangle has a measure of 24 units if the hypotenuse measures 25 units what is the lengh of the other leg

Answer 1

If we assume this is a right triangle

 for a right triangle
if it has legs length a and b and hyptonouse c then
a²+b²=c²

given
a leg is 24
hyptonuse =25
the other leg is b

24²+b²=25²
576+b²=625
minus 576 from both sides
b²=49
sqrt both sides
b=7

the other leg is 7 units
