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:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the curve is

To find the equation of tangent we need to differentiate this equation w.r.t x
So, differentiating we get

This would give the slope of the tangent line at any given point of which x coordinate is known. In the present case it is 
Then slope would accordingly be

= ∞
For,
, 
Equation of tangent line, in the point slope form, would be
