In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

Anyone know what the answer is? I'd appreciate it if someone could help because im stuck
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles triangle have 2 equal angles. Therefore the second angle in the triangle will also be 25.

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180.

180-(25x2) will give you the last angle in one of the triangles.

The other angle is identical so the angle at the top of the other triangle will also be 130.

The sum of angles in a circle is 360.

Therefore, angle x = 360-(130x2)

X= 100
