You will use a2+b2=c2 (squared).The leg will represent the a2 or either b2 and the hypotenuse will be the c2.After filling in the variables you will then subtract the a2 which is the leg from the c2 which is the hypotenuse.And then you will factor it or square root it.If you square root it and it’s not a feasible answer then use the Christmas tree or birthday cake method to factor the answer and then you’ll have the value of b2 which is the unknown leg.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 0.25 in on a drawing is 12 ft in real life, than 1 in on the drawing is 48 ft in real life.
Just divide 15 by 48
15/48=0.3125
So the length of 15 in real life to a drawing is 0.3125 inches.
