Because this is a triangle and we know that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse we just plug in the numbers. But because you have the hypotenuse already you will subtract the leg from the hypotenuse.

A^2+B^2=C^
16^2+B^2=20^2
256+B^2=400 subtract 256 from both sides
B^2=144 now take the square root of both sides
B=12

The second leg is 12 cm long. Your answer is B, the second answer.

Only if the individual doing the calculation makes a substantial mistake.

Any fraction with the same quantity in the numerator and denominator
always has the value of ' 1 ', (provided only that the quantity is not zero).

An isosceles triangle has an angle of 70°. what are the possible values of the other two angles?​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

55 and 55 or 70 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180o and an isosceles triangle has two angles that are the same. As 70 is less than half, we have a couple of possible solutions to this. So one possible solution is 70-55-55. So the other possible solution is 70-70-40.
