<h3>
Answer: 9</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
a = unknown = leg #1
b = 12 = leg #2
c = 15 = hypotenuse
Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2 .... substitution
a^2 + 144 = 225
a^2 = 225 - 144 ... subtracting 144 from both sides
a^2 = 81
a = sqrt(81) .... applying square root to both sides
a = 9
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
x² + x² = (14
)²
2x² = 392 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 196 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
= 14
Thus the congruent legs are 14 cm
