Question

14. Find the length of the unknown leg of the right triangle. 12.75 37.25 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume the longer side is the hypotenuse because it is significantly longer than the other side.

From there, we can do Pythagoreans Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

where can is the hypotenuse.

(12.75)^2+ b^2 = (37.25)^3

162.5625 + b^2 = 1,387.5625

-162.5625 -162.5625

b^2= 1,225

square root both sides.

b= 35
