Question

Coty painted a right triangle on paper. The hypotenuse of his triangle is 18 inches and one of the legs is 7 inches. What is the length of third side?

Answer 1

Answer:

G) 16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pythagoriam theroem to solve the problem

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

$a^{2} + 7^{2} = 18^{2}$

$a^{2}$ + 49 = 324

$a^{2}$ = 275

a = 16.6
