To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches

Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.

Someone do this and show the work !!! Please help :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

54 has 4 ones

and 5 tens

37 has 7 ones

and 3 tens

subtracting ones

7 ones are taken from 54

so along with the existing 4, 1 ten is decreased and another 3 ones are decreased resulting in 7 ones now

now 54 has 5-1= 4 tens

subtracting tens we get 4-3=1

Therefore 1 ten and 7 ones

⇒ 17
