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

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
∠1 = 3x + 18 {Vertically opposite angles}
∠1 + 28° = 90
3x + 18 + 28 = 90
3x + 46 = 90
3x = 90 - 46
3x = 44
x = 44/3
Answer: 55
Step-by-step explanation: There is one simple theorem we need to know in order to solve for this.
Triangle Angle-Sum Property: All three angles interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.
Thus, we could label the points A, B, and C, and set up an algebraic expression.
Let A = 27, B = 98, and C = x.
A + B + C = 180°.
Substituting A, B, and C we get:
27 + 98 + x = 180°.
Adding, we get:
125 + x = 180°
Subtracting 125 by 180, we get:
x = 55°
Thus, the angle X is 55°.
We could have simply solved this by just doing 180 - 98 - 27 = 55 in the first place, but I wanted to show you how I got such results.
