Hello!

If you add up the squares of the two legs, it will equal the square of the hypotenuse. As we already have the hypotenuse, we will subtract.

225-81=144

Now we find the square root.

√144=12

Therefore, the other leg is 12 cm long.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

We apply the theorem of Pythagoras. Let x be the other side, y the hypotenuse and z the smallest side.

x² = y² - z²

x² = 15² - 9²

x² = 225 - 81 = 144

x = √(144) = 12 cm

Bye :)

What is the volume of the cone? Use 3.14 for π. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Tasya [4]

Answer:178.71696m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of cone=1/3πr2h

To find the height using pythagoras theorem and the theorem state that the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is the same or equal in area to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

7^2=h^2+3^2

h^2=49-9

h=√40

h=6.32m

V=1/3×3.142×3m×3m×6.32m

Therefore our answer is;

V=178.71696m^3
