A right triangle has one leg with a length of 48 and a hypotenuse with a length of 80. What is the length of the other leg?

Using the pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), this would make the equation 48^2 + b^2 = 80^2 (the hypotenuse must be plugged in as the "c" value).

Once you solve, this becomes 2304 + b^2 = 6400.

Subtract 2304 from 6400 and you get b^2 = 4096.

Take the square root of 4096 and you get b=64.


The answer is 64.

What are exponents and how do I do them?
GREYUIT [131]
Exponents are actually really simple. They are the little numbers on top of numbers and represents powers, so if it was 2 to the power of 2 you multiply 2*2 since there is 2 2s.(

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance x

Answer:

find b: since the triangle is right angle triangle apply the Pythagorean theorem

c²+b²=d²

b²=d²-c²

b²=16²-12²

b²=256-144

b²=112

<h2>b=√112 = 4√7</h2>

the sum of the angle of the triangle=180

( in top Δ abd ) sin Ф=opp/hyp

sinФ=b/d=4√7/16= √7/4  radian

convert to degrees : √7/4 *180/π= 37.91 almost 38 degrees

<h2>which makes A= 38 degrees ( adjacent angles are equal when they have common side and do not overlap)</h2>

find a=?? apply law of cosine

a²= d^2 + c^2 − 2dc cosA

a²=16² + 12²-2(16)(12)cos38

a =√(16² + 12²-2(16)(12)cos38)

<h2>a=9.87 rounded to the nearest hundredth</h2>

(i hope it is right )
